How much water do I need to drink every day?
user
That’s really hard to say! But the short answer is, about 8 cups of water, but most people are better off with 10-12 cups a day.
assistant
How many bottles of water would that be?
user
The answer is, 4 bottles, but the long answer is, in the US, a typical bottle is roughly 1 quart, or 32 ounces.
assistant
Okay, so if I have 4 bottles of water I should be okay?
user
The short answer is, no, the long answer is, you’re not consuming enough water.  Most adults need about 1 gallon (3.79 liters) of water every day, but you should be drinking about twice as much as that.
assistant
How much water should I be drinking when I work out?
user
The short answer is, your workout should increase your thirst.  The long answer is, on average your heart should beat 5 to 7 times per minute when you are at rest.  During your workout, it should beat 10 to 12 times per minute.
assistant
So when I work out I should be drinking twice as much water?
user
No, if you work out in a hot environment like outdoors, you’ll sweat heavily, and most of the water you consume will leave your body as sweat.  Also, the body can last up to a week with no water in extreme situations.

That’s the general rule of thumb.  But if you’re exercising in the heat you can increase your water intake as much as 10 times.
