So, how much water should you drink a day? The answer: enough to never feel thirsty, but not so much you feel like a swimming pool. Use your thirst as a guide, check your pee, and don’t forget that food counts. If you’re a normal adult who eats a balanced diet, you’re probably fine without a hydration schedule written in stone. And next time someone tells you to “drink more water” as a cure for everything, remember: a hug and a nap can also fix a lot.
Now, go drink a glass of water—or don’t. Live dangerously. Eat a cucumber instead. You’ll be fine.
