How Much Water Should You Drink Today?

Hydration Calculator

Your body needs fluids, but it can be difficult to know just how much water (or other fluids) your body needs. Your water requirements can change from day to day based on your physical activity, the weather and even your health condition. This calculator can help you decide how much water you need to drink today.

While water is very important for your health, there are some times when drinking too much water can be a problem:

• If you have any kidney or adrenal problems, or your doctor has you taking diuretics, you need to consult with your doctor about how much water to drink each day
• Don't drink all of the water you need per day all at once. Divide the amount you need and drink several glasses of water throughout the day. This is especially important if you engage in lots of heavy exercise.
• Infants should be given only formula or breast milk unless your pediatrician tells you otherwise.
