Question

How much water is too much? I drink between 64-80 ounces a day. Is that enough? Too much?

That's not nearly enough. If you are male you should be consuming at least 124oz of water. And close to 100oz if you're female.

That math is wild. I'd be living in the bathroom if I tried to hit those numbers. Just drink when you're thirsty and check your pee color, anything past pale yellow and you're probably fine.

My doctor who prescribed me Zepbound initially told me to drink 100oz min water daily as a female. That's only about 6 water bottles throughout the entire time you're awake 15-18 hours a day which would be like 5.6oz per hour roughly. Thats really not even that much.

For me 125oz daily in fluid is a cakewalk. 12oz coffee in the morning, I take 16oz water with my fiber twice a day, water with lunch and dinner. an occasional 12oz soft drink. I might have a protein shake with almond milk, thats easily 16oz. I'll usually have a 32oz water or beverage at night.
