Hmm... I always thought it was something along the lines of your body utilizes that much water, but what people don't realize is that H2O is created in the cells as a waste product of energy use.
So... drink 8 glasses of water? no.

Off to google...

You're supposed to consume a large amount of water a day but it isn't specifically 8 glasses and depends on your body. You get quite a bit from your food anyway.
