And what benifits are those? While everyone talks about 8 glasses a day, I've never actually seen any scientific studies that give real evidence that drinking more than just "when you're thirsty" is any benifit.

Its no secret that drinking a lot of water will increase your metabolism...

German researches reported that after test subjects drank two cups of water, their metabolism soared by 30% and stayed elevated for 30-40 minutes. That means that drinking 10-12 glasses of water a day can actually help you lose weight. What that means in for you and me is that drinking water while exercising will increase the calories you burn. Even better, after your exercise session is completed and you drink more water your body continues to burn calories. I'd say that's another great reason to keep drinking plenty of water.
