Count water from food and drinks, and sip through the day

Added

Your daily water target includes fluids from food, soup, milk, coffee and tea, not just plain water. Drink when you feel thirsty and have a beverage with meals, choosing water over sweetened drinks. Thirst can change as you get older, so keep taking fluids throughout the day, and ask your doctor if you're unsure you're getting enough.

The result

Result: MedlinePlus: the Dietary Reference Intake for adults is 91 to 125 fluid ounces (2.7 to 3.7 liters) a day from food and beverages combined; needs depend on sex, weight, age and activity level.
