Last week’s survey tested your knowledge on staying hydrated. About one third of respondents (28%) were correct that it is technically false that you “should” drink at least eight glasses of water per day. There is no evidence to back up the specific “eight glasses a day” claim. Most were correct that alcohol is more dehydrating than coffee or sugar-sweetened soda (76%).

Finally, 36% of you were correct that approximately 55% to 75% of your body weight is water (up to 60% on average). Thanks all for your continued participation! It is very much appreciated.
