A better rule of thumb is take your body weight, divide by 2
and this is the number of ounces of water needed per day.
This comes out to one half ounce of water per pound
per day. Note that this may exceed 8 cups a day for some.
>
A half ounce per pound seems a reasonable amount to me to
keep the body both hydrated and flushed.
'Seems reasonable' is not what I would call a good general rule of thumb.
The recommendation you gave above - again - has no scientific basis in
*fact*.
Basing a recommendation solely on body weight is meaningless. Other
factors that would *have* to be considered before it would even *begin*
to be 'reasonable' would be:
1. Environment (does the person live in the Sahara desert or in Maine?)
2. Activity level (sedentary or active lifestyle)?
3. Dietary habits (does the person eat a lot of high water content foods?)
4. Current state of health/BMI (is the person obese?)
Etc... see my point?
