Sounds like plenty of drinking to me!

[dimity_blue]

I thought so until I looked it up!

According to the Mayo Clinic, the recommendation liquid intake is:

About 15.5 cups (3.7 liters) of fluids for men. About 11.5 cups (2.7 liters) of fluids a day for women.

That includes fluid intake in your food though. Don't worry.

Ah, thanks. I was a bit surprised.

I used to know a nurse who was regularly frustrated with how easily misinterpreted the fluid intake guidelines are, and how often the figures are wrongly reported by the press, and badly worded in official documentation. It's a very common mistake! Food does contain quite a bit of fluid, even when it doesn't seem like it does. I'm sure you're drinking enough!
