Reply to comment by LoneStar2911 in ELI5: why do our bodies randomly act like we haven’t had water in days and that we need to chug a bunch randomly? by Serratedlily

Whats been disproven it's not that people should drink x amount of water, that would be absurd, the problem is when people say "you have to drink 8 cups of water per day" which is false, most of the water we consume is through alimentation, people need their amount of water but it's not a fixed number, some people might need 8 cups others might not need at all

I don't know what alimentation is supposed to mean in this context, but generally yeah it just means giving your body nutrients. Drinking water is a form of alimentation, supplying your body with nutrients.

Yeah I'm sorry I could've just have written simple but I'm dumb, I meant food (rice, steak, chicken, ...)

I think that it's pretty clear now that English is not my first language 😂😂

No worries. No trying to call you out. Just trying to make sure I wasn't missing anything myself.

Yeah, I pretty much said it’s not a fixed number for everyone. I said it’s typically determined by a person’s weight.
