Obviously, you can drink straight water, but do we count coffee or tea? There is an argument that anything containing caffeine doesn't count. This is because caffeine is a diuretic and causes people to flush it right out of their systems. I still haven't gotten to the bottom of that one. Does that smoothie with lunch count? Obvously, it's liquid, but it's so dense, so how much is liquid? The banana? What about the burger? Yea, we ingest fluid with almost everything we eat, so how do we measure that? What about really salty things, like chips? Well, we guesstimate. Just like we do with the approximate number of ounces we're supposed to drink everyday. How do we know? Take your weight in pounds and divide that number in half. That's the minimum number of ounces of fluid recommended for you eachday. Keep in mind; if it's hot outside or if you're exercising you should double that number.
