                                According to the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, adequate daily fluid intake is around 11.5 cups for women and 15.5 cups for men. Therefore, five glasses is often less than the recommended total fluid intake, and may not be sufficient for everyone, depending on individual factors.
