Are you one of the millions of people who are strapped to their water bottle like it’s a part of them?

They keep it in hand as if it is a permanent accessory.

One of the millions of American’s who constantly walk around thinking they should drink more, aiming to drink more because we must get eight-eight ounce glasses of water each day.

All while the water argument continues its warpath in your mind. Water is so blah, so mediocre, so bland and so you find yourself continuously sipping on flavored waters, carbonated beverages and anything and everything but H2O.

The good news, everything we’ve learned about the 8×8 rule is false and so is plain jane water.

The bad news, carbonated beverages and flavored waters still miss the mark.

So how do you know how much you should be drinking and what? Find out here as we uncover another hidden {and yet simple} truth about all things hydration.
