Question by asdfghjkl: How much is "a glass of water"? And how much water is too much? What do people mean when they say drink 8 glasses of water a day? Best answer for How much is "a glass of water"? And how much water is too much?:

Answer by ttlyinluvwidjesus
they mean drink 7 glasses a day.......
Answer by ladyc
a glass is considered 8oz. so that adds up to 64oz of water a day. you should not drink water until it makes you sick, but there are restrictions on the amount of water babies and small children should drink
Answer by Deirdre H
Usually, it's 8 8-oz glasses of water. Trying to drink a great deal of water (gallons in a short period, or less after strenuous exercise) can cause water intoxication, which is potentially fatal. We all need water, but we need to insure that our electrolytes remain balanced as well.
Answer by PoohBearPenguin
I've wondered that myself. I think 1 glass is 8 oz. so 8 glasses would be about 64 oz. Of course, if it's very hot out, or you're doing exercise, you should drink more. I've also heard that if you want to lose weight, you should drink half your weight, in ounces, each day. So, for instance, if you weigh 200 pounds, you want to drink about 100 ounces of water throughout the day. The extra water will help keep you full, so you don't snack, as well as the normal benefits of keeping you hydrated and helping your body flush out wastes, etc. Too much of anything can be bad thing, but I don't know of a specific formula for how much is too much. Listen to your body - if you start feeling sick after downing a gallon of water, you're probably drinking too much too fast ;-)
Answer by birdwatcher
a glass of water is generally 8 ounces - of course there are larger glasses, 16 ozs is not uncommon. what we've been taught - what I've always heard is - one basic way to determine how much water you need to drink is to use your body weight (say it's 128 pounds) divide that in half (64) and drink that in ounces of water over the course of a day. and if your weight is say - 256 pounds, then you might need to drink a gallon of water a day, not all at once of course but counting water drunk at meal times and between meals too. and that's a minimum of 8 glasses of water daily, since our bodies are always using up water with normal activity, we actually need more than that or optimum health. How much is too much? instead ask how much is too little. Here's an excellent resource for water information.

Your second question is easy to answer. Water makes me nauseated. I drink Sports drinks.
Answer by Jared M
a glass of water is 8 oz. you shouldn't drink too much water all at once.....one lady died not too long ago from drinking too much water, but a "glass" of water can also be a glass of any kind of drink w/ water in it....things like gatorade, koolade, tea, coffee etc. The only problem is these drinks also include alot of sugar and caffeine and other ingredients that aren't so good for you
Answer by Terry T
The 8 oz. answers are right. The amount you drink is up to you. You cannot drink too much water during a 24 hr. period. you can drink too much water all at once. Died from it...Dude... What has been learned over the years is that the body will retain the needed nutrients to keep itself alive. For people who drink very little water, it is water that the body stores. This is known as the 'drought effect'. When you begin increasing your water intake the body then begins 'releasing' the stored water from the bodies tissues. If you want to check this out, begin by drinking the recommended 8 glasses a day for a week. keep track of your weight loss. When I began doing this, (didn't reduce my food intake) I actual lost 14 lbs. in a seven day period. I was part of a group that began this and several people lost between 5 and 8 lbs in that time. Really try it, it absolutely won't hurt you.

[fornadablog.blogspot.com], Space shuttle Endeavour leaves LAX, now on LA streets - Los Angeles Times

The space shuttle Endeavour has left the grounds of the Los Angeles International Airport and is now on city streets, heading east toward Inglewood.

The massive spacecraft, rolling at under 2 mph, left the airport at 2 a.m. exactly. "Right on time, it just cleared the gates," said airport spokeswoman Nancy Castles.
The weathered shuttle -- its blemishes easy to see -- took up two of the four lanes of the road as it rolled down Northside Parkway, and a handful of vehicles led the procession, including a truck that had an American flag fluttering behind it.

FULL COVERAGE: Endeavour's final journey

At the first sight of Endeavour, scores of onlookers waiting patiently on city streets began running on Westchester Parkway, some with camera tripods in tow, snapping photos furiously.Â
They had been waiting hours in the dark, some perched on top of car roofs, and others on ladders and step chairs yearning, in the crisp autumn darkness, for their first glimpse of America's last space shuttle.
About 100 people whooped and hollered from the corner of Westchester Parkway and McConnell Avenue.
"Welcome Endeavour! You're ours now!" a young woman, wearing a lavender jacket, shouted, before melting back into the crowd.

VIDEO GRAPHIC: How the shuttle will move through L.A.

Half a dozen firefighters on top of their engine snapped photos on Westchester. A woman wearing furry tie-dyed legwarmers gazed at the shuttle, wearing a bike helmet with American and California flags sticking outside.

People on sidewalks scrambled to follow the shuttle as it moved to the east. The sides of the road were littered with abandoned bicycles as space shuttle fans rushed to follow Endeavour just a little bit more.Â

Los Angeles Police Capt. Jon Peters stopped in front of a couple marveling at Endeavour, and paused for a moment as it negotiated a turn around tree -- a delay long enough for spectators to catch up.

"You see that guy in the front there, with the joystick? Amazing. Tell your kids to stay on those video games," Peters said.

Earlier, the mood was anxious, if a bit weary, as the spectators stood in the cool night air, nearby light stands cresting patches of brightness in the darkness. A few bicyclists sauntered down the pathway that the still-distant shuttle would take, prompting a couple of yells from officials in hardhats.
Others lingered at a corner, not quite sure if or when they would be told to leave.
Earlier in the night, TV trucks and camera crews outnumbered pedestrians at the first viewing spot along the shuttle's 12-mile trek. "I'm surprised there isn't a mob of people around here," said David Loudenback, 66, a retired engineer who lives a mile down the road. He is no night owl, but decided the spectacle was worth a little lost sleep. "This is one of the little perks of living by the airport, said Loudenback, who is familiar with the nightly hum of jet engines passing over his home.
He and a handful of others continued to look over their shoulders for the first sign of authorities.

There were soft groans when a tram full of nearly 50 uniformed officers pulled up. "I feel like I'm in 'I, Robot,'" said Helen Pans, 45, of Playa del Rey. Pans had just been shooed down the road by a police officer. "They were really touting it when Endeavour was flying by, saying it would be a parade, and now all of a sudden you've got people coming up to you telling you you have to leave," she said.
Pans said even as a child, she was fascinated by shuttles. She clearly remembers the day of the Challenger disaster. She was working on Capitol Hill at the time, and she recalled her entire office crowding around a tiny screen after the disaster. "People were in tears," she said.
Endeavour, which was built to replace Challenger, landed for the final time at Los Angeles International Airport on Sept. 21. Pans was at the Grove at the time, and sprinted to the top of the parking garage to catch a glimpse.
"I've always wanted to see a takeoff or see a landing," she said. Perhaps, she added, this would be good enough.
For Ali Hart, though, the spectacle was only worth so much. Her brother, Nathan, had roused her from bed before midnight and persuaded her to come with him to try to see the shuttle's passage. Their parents had been at the site of Endeavour's first landing at Edwards Air Force Base, just yards away from President Reagan.
"I thought it would be cool to see it," said Hart, 21. "But I'm not going to chase it all over L.A."

Over the next two days, the 170,000-pound shuttle is expected toÂ travel at no more than 2 mph along a 12-mile route thatÂ includes Westchester Parkway, La Tijera Boulevard, Crenshaw Boulevard and Martin LutherÂ King Jr. Boulevard. The shuttle is moved by four computer-controlled transporters thatÂ will help it negotiate complex turns and avoid streetside obstacles.
At points along the way, the space vehicle will be inches away from buildings and protrudeÂ onto driveways and sidewalks. Because of the enormous weight of the shuttle, thousands ofÂ heavy steel plates have been used to reinforce city streets.
Endeavour is scheduled to arrive at the California Science Center by 9 p.m. Saturday.
En route, the public can see the shuttle at a number of public viewing areas on Friday alongÂ Manchester Boulevard in Inglewood, including Isis, Hindry and Glasgow avenues as well as LaÂ Cienega Boulevard.
On Saturday, there will be several designated public viewi ng areas, including the Forum inÂ Inglewood, the intersection of Crenshaw and Â Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, and certainÂ parking lots in Exposition Park.
