So how much water should you drink? The answer is simple: Drink when you’re thirsty. Prioritize water, and try to avoid sugary drinks, which can cause metabolic problems. Coffee and tea are fine as well.
“If you’re paying attention to your body and drinking when you feel like you need to, then you should be fine,” Pontzer said.
