I forgot to reply to this originally :-S
I am a bit confused by the "half your body weight in oz a day"
statement, not helped by the fact that I measure liquids in ml. And my
body weight is the same whether I measure it in oz or kg or megatons?
I seem to have to drink very little to pass clear water, and the only
time I feel *really* thirsty is Monday morning, after the chinese meal
we have. I'm not sure if it's the (small) amount of rice I eat or the
glass of wine that does it. Even drinking tea doesn't make me all that
thirsty.
