Should you be drinking 8 glasses of water a day? 
There is no scientific evidence that you should drink at any other time than when you feel thirsty - your body has a natural mechanism that tells you when you need to drink. Does your cat drink the equivalent of 8 glasses of water a day - who tells it how much water to drink?  It is really the companies that bottle water who have the most to gain from your excessive drinking of water.

In America, back in the Food Fad era, the Food and Nutrition Board of the National Research Council was asked how much water needed to be consumed. The basic answer was "about 1 ml of water for each calorie of food consumed" it seems that many of the gym bunnies of the time missed the next clause which said "most of which is contained in the food you eat." Thus was born the idea that we need to drink 2 litres of water a day.​
