Water, Water, Everywhere...but how much do you drink?

Water, Water, Everywhere...but how much do you drink?: From GovGab: "Last year, my New Year's Resolution was to drink more water.
Shockingly enough- I actually did it! Now, a diet soda is a rarity instead of the norm. I pretty much drink strictly H2O, or unsweetened iced tea- sometimes with lemon if I really want to get crazy.

Now that I am actually drinking water- the question is: How much do I need to be drinking?

With summer here, and temps soaring, it is especially important to keep your body hydrated. Dehydration causes you to become overheated and leads to exhaustion and light-headedness, muscle cramps and an increased chance of heatstroke.

While the common perception is that adults should be drinking eight eight-ounce glasses per day, it is now suggested that we should actually be drinking more. It's recommended that men have closer to 13 glasses per day and that women have 9.

When exercising, especially outside, you should have half a cup of water every 15 minutes. When working out over an hour, a sports drink would also be helpful.

But let's call a spade a spade here, people- water can be pretty dang boring. To jazz it up, try adding lemon, lime, cucumber, or mint to your drink.

How do you sneak more water into your day? Have you ever experienced dehydration?"
