General guidance, not medical advice. Fluid needs vary widely between people, and the coefficients behind this — roughly 30 to 40 ml per kilogram, and 20 to 30 percent of intake coming from food — are population averages with a real spread. Kidney and heart conditions, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and some medications all change the target substantially, and drinking far more than you need carries its own risks. Ask a healthcare professional about your own requirement.
