I was told to try to drink at least 8 eight ounces glasses a day. You also want to try to take either a cranberry pill or drink cranberry tea. The juice is loaded with sugar. The cranberry helps with not only getting rid of the some the fluid by making you have to urinate, but it also helps with urinary tract infections. Keep on drinking the water, but also add something else in if eight glasses is to much.
