Question Water Intake question

Good Morning All,

I have a question about water intake. Right now, I am consuming approximately 80 fluid ounces (two 32 ounce glasses and one 16 ounce glass a day).

I was told that a person needs to drink 1/2 of their body weight in order to consume the right amount that will work for them. If you weigh 246 (like I do currently) does this mean I have to consume 123 fluid ounces of water for my wanter consumption to be effective?

Also, what is a "glass of water?" I have been told that a glass is 8 fluid ounces. Other measure by the quart or the liter...what is the correct way.

I would appreciate your help. I love this website. It has helped keep me focused...and this is just my second day!
