Where, exactly, does Coffee fit into the equation ??
I drink 3 or 4 12 oz cups of home brewed java for breakfast. No sugar and a splash of half & half. So that gets me to about 40 ounces of liquid in the morning.
I drink about 8 oz of water filtered thru our Fridge dispenser at lunch and again at dinner. If we go out for a meal, I order Sweet Tea with a travelin' cup to go. I don't generally drink booze when dining out -- Charleston County taxes the alcoholic drinks heavily......make the tourists pay.
So I'm probably drinking 60 oz of non-alcoholic liquid refreshment per day. And I don't feel dehydrated at all.
I believe these 'round number' dictated figures are probably too generic for an individual, like the Body Mass Index.
