I've been concerned about getting enough water every day. What do they recommend is the best volume of water to drink, to stay hydrated?

They recommend that people consume about 64 ounces of water per day, which can vary with your activity levels and age.  You can check to see if you’re drinking enough water by asking yourself the following questions:

8, 8 oz glasses of water, has seemed to be the standard, for the last decade or so. Essentially, what you said.

Yeah, that’s a good start.  The thing is, these questions aren’t all totally reliable, since a lot of them are really hard to track accurately.  There are much better ways to monitor your hydration status, and it sounds like you’ve seen my recommended strategy: weighing yourself, and recording your weight before and after you drink water.  That’s the best and easiest way to tell whether you need to increase or decrease your water intake.

That seems like a lot of work. I think I might just go with the standard 64 Oz.
