Is half your weight in oz for water intake still a thing?
 

You know that whole "Take your weight, cut it in half and that's how many oz of water you need to aim for every day..."
Is that still a thing?
I'm just wondering because 64oz isn't enough for me. but over 100+ oz is getting nuts. I'm in the bathroom at least every 45 min. Sometimes every 20 min. And it's not great because of my job. I can go use the restroom whenever I want, but my productivity falls when I have to go 7 times every shift.
Plus waking up 1-2 times a night to go doesn't help either. I try to stop the water intake 2 hours before bed.
So is there a rule to the water intake? Or is it whatever we feel comfortable drinking?
On the plus side drinking 100+ oz of water is that it has killed any hunger pangs.

That is the amount I go by. I try to get it all in before 6 at night. I drink an 800 ml bottle on my way into work and then the rest throughout the day. I guess I use the bathroom often but I look at it as a way to remind myself to get up out of my chair and stretch.

It's a myth that refuses to die.

I drink (not necessarily water) when I'm thirsty and don't drink when I'm not thirsty. Works for me.

F.

Even drinking 64 oz. makes me want to float away LOL!

That said, water is a great thing!! With every meal and before and after exercising for me, thank you! And food has water in it. Look at fruit!
