I bought a 72 oz. water bottle yesterday from walmart, so i figure i will fill it daily and by the end of the day i need to drink all the water. This is easier than counting & remembering how many 8 oz. glasses i drank. 72 oz is 9, 8 oz. glasses of water, i know it is recommended ATLEAST 6 so is 9 too many? Thanks!

I think 9 glasses is great as long as you are in close proximity to a bathroom.

I strive for at least 8, preferably more. And if you exercise, you do need more than 6, IMHO. Water toxicity really is not that much of a problem if that's what you're worried about. Your skin will thank you for all that extra moisture, too.

Like you, I've found that getting water bottles and refilling them each day makes it much easier for me to determine how much water I am drinking. The only problem I have is negotiating when to drink the water do I don't need a bathroom at a difficult time (like while driving, out for a walk, etc.)

RDs and Nutritionists recommend 6-8 ounces a day once sufficiently hydrated....

too much would be if you chugged a lot in a short period of time.

Yeah I do what snowgal does and get one of those 32 ounce water bottles and try to drink at least two a day. I find it less scary to know i only have to drink two of those compared to like 8-10 glasses
