Grrrr.
"8 glasses a day" is a myth. There has never been any scientific study to support it. It's not entirely clear where it came from, though a likely candidate and old Nutrition Board recommendation that did recommend that amount of liquid intake per day, but followed by saying that most of that amount you get by eating prepared foods.
If you've seen that keeping hydrated has benefits for you, then that's good, but don't bother worrying about "8 glasses a day", it's bogus.
