A nutritionists' rule of thumb is that the minimum fluid intake should be 1 mL (cc) of liquid for every calorie of diet consumed. This is for those who must limit their fluid intake due to a medical condition. So the absolute minimum liquids someone on a 1500 calorie diet should consume in a day is 1500 mL (1.5L).
If a healthy adult individual is on no fluid restrictions, it is usually recommended that they drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water or fluids per day (64 ounces, 1/2 gallon, 2 quarts, 1.9L) under normal environmental temperatures, and normal exercise.
If fluid loss is occurring due to diuretics; consumption of coffee, tea, or alcohol; perspiration from fever, excessive exercise, or extreme environmental temperatures, then fluids lost should be replaced in amounts equal to the loss when that can be properly measured. At least several additional cups should be added for a noticable amount of loss.
