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.
