The recommended daily water intake varies by individual factors such as sex, activity level, and climate, but general guidelines suggest:
- For men, about 15.5 cups (3.7 liters) of fluids per day.
- For women, about 11.5 cups (2.7 liters) of fluids per day.
These amounts include all fluids consumed, not just plain water, as some water comes from food and other beverages
. In terms of bottled water, the typical bottled water size is 16.9 ounces (about 0.5 liters). Based on the above recommendations:
- Men should drink roughly 4 bottles (16.9 oz each) per day.
- Women should drink about 3 bottles per day.
This aligns with the common "8x8 rule" (eight 8-ounce glasses), but updated advice suggests men and women often need more than that, especially if physically active or in warm climates
. In summary:
- Men: about 4 standard bottles (16.9 oz each) daily.
- Women: about 3 standard bottles daily.
Adjust your intake based on your activity, environment, and health needs.
