Healthy Drinking

How much should we drink?

In groups: Fill the cups provided with the

amount of fluid you think women and men should drink per day.

• To stay healthy, it's important to replace the fluid we lose when we breathe, sweat or urinate.

• We get some fluid from our food but most comes from drinks.

The European Food Safety Authority recommends:

• Women should drink about 1.6 litres of fluid that’s eight glasses of 200ml.

• Men should drink about 2.0 litres of fluid per day, that’s 10 glasses of 200ml.
