so you know how on some water bottles have the nutrition facts on that back?(like the poland spring one) well it says the servicing size per container is 2.5 ..i heard that you have to drink 8 bottles of water so do i have to drink 8 servings of that water bottle in order to be healthy? thanks
loves2shop86 answered Thursday May 11 2006, 10:59 pm: since the serving size on the bottle is 2.5, it means that there are 2 and a half glasses of water in the bottle. this is because one serving of water is one glass, which is 8 ounces. since the bottle has 2.5 servings, it is a 20 ounce bottle! so if you are using that bottle, you have to drink 8 servings of it (not 8 bottles)... that means you need to drink a little more than 3 bottles per day!
MHScutie87 answered Thursday May 11 2006, 8:02 pm: Yes, 8 glasses of water is about how much you should drink. However, it doesn't really make sense that a 60 pound child would have to drink 8 glasses and a 180 pound man would also have to drink the same amount as someone 1/3 his weight, right? So some doctors say that if you drink water based on your weight. This is how you do it: (your weight)/2. For example, if you weigh 100 pounds, then you should drink about 50 ounces of water a day.

So you need 64 ounces of water each day. Roughly you'd have to drink a little less than four bottles each day to get your daily requirement. [ Nallie's advice column | Ask Nallie A Question ]
