Tip - How Much Water Do I Actually Need to Drink Every Day?

Dear Lifehacker, I've heard you need eight glasses of water every day, but I've also heard that it might be more or less. Some say too much water is bad, and many more say too little is bad. How can I know if I'm getting the right amount if nobody really knows what that amount is? Please help!
