No matter how much one weighs (thin, medium or heavy) it's 8 - 8 ounce glasses of water per day. The only time you may need more water is if you are jogging or exerting yourself or become dehydrated by hot weather. Too much water isn't good for you either. Drinking that 8 glasses of water a day is flushing out toxins and fats in the body and keeps the kidneys in good shape.

Weight has nothing to do with water consumption. Drinking more or less water will not affect weight loss or weight gain.

Everyone should try to consume 6-8 cups (48 -64) of fluid daily. The fluid can be water, coffee, tea, juice, milk or the water in soup, stew, fruit and veggies. In other words, it doesn't have to be water.

How much water will an average human drink in a lifetime?

Assuming a rate of water consumption of about 1.5 litres of water per day (1 litre is about 4 glasses), and neglecting differences in this amount due to old age and childhood, an average person will consume 43,830 litres of water over an 80-year lifetime.That's also equal a 3.8m x 3.8m room with 3m (somewhat high) ceilings.A more interesting question is how much water could a typical person consume in their lifetime. According to the wikipedia.com article on Water Intoxication, an average kidney can excrete about 1 litre of fluid per hour. Let's assume an average person can, at max, excrete 40 litres of fluid per day including urination, sweat, breathing, and others (and including time for some sleep). That amounts to 1.17 million litres over 80 years.According to the wikipedia.com article for Olympic-Size Swimming Pool, this volume amounts to 46.8% of the typical 2.5 million gallon Olympic pool.If you filled up bathtubs with 1.17 million litres and laid them end-to-end, the line would go 6.8 kilometers.Drink responsibly

How much water does a person need per year?

A person would require 30 m3 of water for direct domestic use, of which, 1.5 m3 would be for drinking alone. The domestic use of 30 m3 is only 10% of overall use, we consume vast amount of water indirectly. 15% we consume via industrial goods and 75% we consume via agricultural products. For more information, it is recommend to have a look onto Water Footprint.
