How much water

should a person drink in a day? Anyone know?

I feel like everything I read gives a different answer!

ITA~that's what I've always read.

some doctors say you don't even need to drink 8 glasses because you get water in everything you eat basically.

but i've also heard you should drink, in ounces, whatever half your body weight is.

so if you weigh 150 lbs... you should drink 75 oz. 200 lbs, 100 oz.

for weight loss purposes, i drink a gallon a day during the week.

Yup, I have heard from several health nuts and gym addicts that you should drink half your body weight.
