      this is a good website where i go the answer from just over a litre a day more if its hot or you are excerising

      alos if you actaully feel thirsty then you are already dehydrated so try and rink often

      Depending on what exercise you do. I am sure many people give you different amounts but I suggest about 2 litres a day. In The Gambia I drink about double that as it is so hot!

      It depends on many factors, external temperature, health, size, activity level etc. But the average recommendation for adults is around 2-3 litres/day. That’s made up from many sources, such as drinks of all types, tea, coffee, orange juice, plain old tap water etc and includes liquid from your food.

      A lot more than most people do! Recommended that an adult should drink between 1.5-3 litres of fluid a day (that is roughly 3-6 pints), but this depends on what you have been doing (for example if you have been exercising and have sweated a lot, you will need more).

      It varies from people to people, the activities one does, the environment etc. A couple of litres I guess would be good.
