Hi SJudy!
Doctors say that 64 ounces of water a day (eight, 8 oz. gpkmtyolles) is necessary to keep the body properly hydrated, and they admit that it would be necessary to drink even when not feeling thirsty.
I like the bottled variety because it's cleaner and easy to monitor the amount of my intake. I generally have water with every meal and then a couple more in between meals.
God bless!

I was under the impression that the 64 fluid onces of water was calculated by the water expenditure of an average person in one day... meaning not nessesarily 64 onces of pure water is needed to be taken on.. just in total. Like there is also water in fruit, veggies, meat, etc...

Sodas are poison. They're like putting syrup in a gas tank and expecting the car to run properly. You drink sodas frequently and on a regular basis and you won't operate properly. You won't think properly. You won't feel proper. Some people are so used to not operating properly that they'll exclaim, "Well I drink sodas and I feel just fine." Do you really? I'll bet if you got off sodas, and replaced them with about four 16.9 ounces of bottled water a day (that's about 68 ounces), you'd discover just how fine you thought you were. I did it, and man, I'm tell you it was like discovering the fountain of youth!! My bones don't ache anymore (Nicodemus your wife is right about the calcium thing). I began feeling much more energetic. My thinking became clearer, and I look incredibly youthful and healthy (if I don't mind saying so myself ;D). Water's the answer. It's the drink God designed for the human body. It's healthy, satisfying and pleasant to the taste. Soda's are man's alternative, geared toward gratification of the taste buds, at the expense of physical and emotional health (yes, an abundance of sodas can cause these problems). Like I said, an occasional soft drink is acceptable, but a steady diet...no way!! Water is clearly the choice of champions! SonWorshiper A friend of mine challenged me to go off soda for a month and see how I felt. So I only drank water for a month. I felt no different. So I went back to drinking soda. (Of course, I drink mainly diet soda, and only one or two cans a day, so it is not a ton). Also, there are no studies linking soda drinking to loss of calcium in bones. It is an urban legend. A myth.

Also, the 64 ounces is an average... what you really need is based on your body weight.

Nicodemus - "It's his little way of poking fun at Christianity."
Not at all. Stop being so quick to be insulted when no insult is intended.

1. What "little quips about sex?" 2. It is not the consumption of alcohol which is sinful, but the doing so to become drunk. 3. Even if it were the mere consumption of alcohol which was sinful, how would that be any different than any sin which you have committed?

From your Pharisaical comments, I find it hard to do the same with you Nicodemus. Remember, just because it is easier to insult someone online because it is anonymous does not mean that you should stop living like a Christian.

kkkk and Philip078,
I think doctors recommend eight, 8 ounce gpkmtyolles of water (do the math) a day to ensure proper hydration of the body.
And Philip, we must be going by different scientific discoveries. I've read articles and seen TV shows that the only thing in our bodies that can break down the acids in carbonated sodas is calcium, and in doing so, potentially depleting the calcium in our bones.

For work, I travel around the country now and then. One thing I noticed was I grew up with 'pop' and a number of others say 'soda'. Its split here in Columbus, I hear both since I moved here a few years ago. In Boston, they were laughing at me for saying pop (though I was laughing at soda, so it was even). Anyways, I wanted to post this: www.popvssoda.com/

I've read articles and seen TV shows that the only thing in our bodies that can break down the acids in carbonated sodas is calcium, and in doing so, potentially depleting the calcium in our bones. SonWorshiper Well, I as a chemist can tell you that there are many things in the body that can reduce the acidity of sodas. First of all, if only calcium reduced the acidity of ANYTHING that we ate or drank, then everyone would be calcium deficient, because many things other than soda have MUCH lower pH's (more acidic). A single orange has more H+ atoms (what makes something acidic) than a 2 liter bottle of soda! The lactic acid in milk is about as acidic as most sodas. The acid in your stomach that starts the digestive process by breaking down the food you eat is much more acidic than soda. I guess I should have clarified my original statement. There are no SCIENTIFIC journal articles or studies linking soda consumption to loss of bone density (loss of calcium). Studies have shown a possible[/i] link showing that people who drink a lot of soda have slightly lower bone densities than non-soda drinkers, but this has been concluded to be more from the fact that the soda drinkers drink less milk and other calcium rich beverages than the non-soda drinkers. People who drink a lot of soda tend to not get their daily need of calcium, so become calcium deficient and their bone densities decrease. So the soda drinking is not the direct cause of the loss in bone density. And as far as the doctor recommending eight 8 ounce gpkmtyolles of water a day, like I said that is an AVERAGE for all people. On AVERAGE everyone should be drinking 64 fluid ounces of water a day. If you want to know how much you specifically need, then it is based on your weight. You might need more, or you might need less, depening on your weight. Here is the formula for what a body needs specifically. You need 1000 mL of water for the first 10kg of body weight, 500 mL for the next 10kg of body weight, and then 15 mL for each kg of body weight after that. Using this formula I need 2843 mL of water every day. That is about 95 fluid ounces of water a day that I actually need. (There are about 30 mL in a fluid ounce). So, 64 fluid ounces a day is for a person who's weight is 105.6 pounds. (I verfied this information with a nutrionist friend of mine) So, for easier figuring out... A 100 pound person needs 62.7 fluid ounces of water A 110 pound person needs 65.0 fluid ounces of water A 120 pound person needs 67.3 fluid ounces of water A 130 pound person needs 69.5 fluid ounces of water A 140 pound person needs 71.8 fluid ounces of water A 150 pound person needs 74.1 fluid ounces of water A 160 pound person needs 76.4 fluid ounces of water A 170 pound person needs 78.6 fluid ounces of water A 180 pound person needs 80.9 fluid ounces of water A 190 pound person needs 83.2 fluid ounces of water A 200 pound person needs 85.5 fluid ounces of water A 210 pound person needs 87.7 fluid ounces of water A 220 pound person needs 90.0 fluid ounces of water A 230 pound person needs 92.3 fluid ounces of water A 240 pound person needs 94.5 fluid ounces of water A 250 pound person needs 96.8 fluid ounces of water Your body gets its water needs not only from water you drink, but from all other drinks, as well as foods.

SonWorshiper I'm afraid this is an urban legend, a modern version of the "a tooth for a child" old wives' tale. Normal stomach acid is much, much stronger than the phosphoric acid in sodas; if this legend were true our stomach acid would have depleted the calcium in our bones long before the acid in soda.
