there are some formulas that say half your body weightin ounces...
the most accurate method I've seen is to monitor the color of your urine - unless you're on some medication or excessive B vitamins - your urine should be pale yellow to almost clear -anything darker than that you need to drink up..

Rep Power: 1698 | | People are always making fun of me because I drink SO much water. I always have to pee because I guzzle it down. There was a restaurant I used to frequent, and every time they saw me come in, they brought me a pitcher of water and a straw as a joke (they eventually brought me a cup too.. but I still got my own pitcher!). I really don't like soda though, and I don't want to drink too much juice because it's so sugary. I drink some milk every day for the calcium though.
I don't think you can drink too much water.... can you?
