How much water do I need?

As I embark to the land of steak, tuna, Bomber Blend, low-fat dairy, fruit & veggies, what about water?  How much each day? Can you drink too much of it? Can I add crystal light iced tea powder or squeeze lemon in it for taste or go it plain?

Lots of cool, clear water, like an average of 64 ounces a day as suggested by “them.”  Bodyweight and activity and climate are contributing factors.

Try hard and one can die from excess water consumption.

Lemon’s good, certain teas can be beneficial (anti-oxidants, detoxifying), but plain is the smart choice.

The going is good… Godspeed… DD
