While drinking 64 ounces of water each day isn't a bad thing, it could be too much or not enough for some people. Other guidelines exist, but there's still no true consensus. There's no formal recommendation for how much water people should drink every day, perhaps because everyone needs different amounts of water.Oct 23, 2020');})();(function(){window.jsl.dh('_en5sYOL8EczA0PEPwp6ykAQ39','
A new article published in the Harvard Health Letter recommends drinking 30 to 50 ounces a day, an amount equal to about four to six glasses of water.Jul 20, 2015

How much you should actually drink is more individualized than you might think. The Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommends that men drink at least 101 ounces of water per day, which is a little under 13 cups. They say women should drink at least 74 ounces, which is a little over 9 cups.
