8 cups of water a day is what you're supposed to drink right?

that's 64 oz, that's a whole lot of water. I got one of those 32oz nalgene bottles and been drinkin' 2 of those a day. been pissin' every half an hour!

No. The latest research I've heard is that 8 cups isn't really necessary. You can be healthly drinking less. Sorry, no link.

Yes.

I never used to drink water and now it is all I drink. The only time I drink soda/pop is when I go out to restaurants which is a rare thing.

Kidney stones are not my friend.

Water causes kidney stones?

No, but it does help flush them out before they grow too large to *ahem* be easily purged.

So it prevents kidney stones?

<----- always brings at least a 32oz to start his pizza shift



I drink both; 8 cups of water and beer every day, sometimes I slack on the water....

My facial skin at 34 years has few wrinkles because of my enormous water intake. My gut however, show years of enormous beer intake.
