Question: What are the benefits to drinking a gallon of water everyday?

None. A few decades ago, a German nutritionist published an article estimating the total daily water intake for an average male as 2 liters. This was an estimate of how much water was consumed, not how much should be consumed. It counted all the water in food, not just what was drunk.



2 liters is about 8 cups, so the magazines, knowing that people liked pretending that they had control over the universe by doing simple things, turned this into a recommendation to drink 8 cups of water a day.



1 gallon is 16 cups. You're not flushing out any toxins. Your kidneys already flush out toxins.
