For years, we’ve heard the same advice:
“𝘋𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘬 8 𝘨𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘸𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘢 𝘥𝘢𝘺.”
It’s simple—but it’s not exactly accurate.

Factors that can increase your hydration needs include:
☀️ Sun exposure
🏔️ Living at altitude
🏃 Exercise and activity
💦 Sweating
🍷 Alcohol consumption
☕ Caffeine intake
💊 Certain medications
🤒 Illness or recovery
💪 Body composition
A good baseline for many adults is about half your body weight (in pounds) in ounces of water per day.
For example:
• 120 lbs → ~60 oz
• 150 lbs → ~75 oz
• 180 lbs → ~90 oz
Then add more based on your activity level, environment, and lifestyle.
Living in Tahoe? Between the altitude, dry air, outdoor recreation, and sunshine, many people need more water than they realize.
