So how much water do you need? Somewhere between “not enough” and “too much,” on a sliding scale that moves with your life. You’re not a science experiment—you’re a person who eats salty snacks, cries at sad movies, and sweats in yoga class.
Trust your thirst, check your pee, and remember: you are mostly water, but you’re also mostly awesome. Stay hydrated, but stay chill about it. The only real rule? Don’t let your body turn into a dry leaf or a flooded basement. You’ll know the difference—promise.
