                                According to the Mayo Clinic, the average daily fluid intake recommendation for men is about 15.5 cups (124 ounces) and for women, 11.5 cups (92 ounces), significantly less than the 200oz many consider. Excessive hydration, such as drinking a large volume like 200oz of water, can potentially lead to a dangerous medical condition known as hyponatremia or water intoxication.
