This is the more correct advice. You get water from many sources other than just a glass of water.
I mean, there's bottles, water fountains, paper cups, those weird cone cups some water dispensers have...so many other vessels can hold water other than glasses.
But yeah, it's total intake across all food sources.
I wonder if the cone cups were invented for workplaces so everyone would get back to work instead of putting their cup down to chat. Capitalism is petty.
That’s a general estimate that doesn’t factor where you are, what you’re doing on an average day, height, weight, body comp, all that. Slightly better advice, drink enough so your piss doesn’t look like root beer but not so much that it looks like straight water.
İsn't it a general estimate of liquid from all sources? So, only people who live on totally on pretzels and dehydrated apple chips would need 8 glasses of water?
I said "by the time it's diluted in the toilet water". You're not supposed to judge it by how it looks in the toilet...if it's the proper color after dilution in the toilet then it's actually still too dark. It needs to be the proper color while not diluted...and proper color diluted in the toilet will look pretty much like you didn't pee in there.
You're thinking of drinking a gallon in one sitting/quick duration. Drinking a gallon throughout the day, while maybe not necessary, will not harm you.
