Unless someone has (moderately advanced) kidney disease or a propensity for a mineral deficiency (uncommon), there's really no reason people shouldn't be consuming at least 1.5 - 2 L's per day. I've seen so many people who overeat, are "chronically fatigued", or even constipated because of a lack of water (and also fibre, in the constipation case). The average person should be drinking around 2 L's in my opinion, larger and more active people often need more, men typically require more than women, etc; but I think it's a good GENERAL rule.
