Hello there. I can understand your concern. I'm sorry but may i know from where you heard such things? It's not correct. A person should drink upto 8 glasses of water a day is right. 3-4 litres and not 8 litres. If you have any other queries, do let us know. Best regards. Dr. Anil Kumar Jain. Bangalore .
