Frequently asked

Does food count?

Yes — about 20% of daily water comes from food. The target above is total fluids; aim for ~80% as drinks.

Hot weather or illness?

Both raise needs. Drink more on hot days and when you're losing fluid (sweat, fever).

Can I drink too much?

Yes — very large intakes in short windows can be harmful. Spread intake through the day.
