Years ago my yoga instructor insisted we drink at least 12 glasses of water a day, as laid down by the first yoga manuals and practitioners.
To make it easier for beginners he asked us to make it a habit of drinking fixed amounts at regular intervals and also avoiding too many glasses before and after meals. So it broke down to- 3 glasses first thing in the morning , 3 glasses mid morning. 3 mid afternoon, 3 at bed time. any more as required by lifestyle, so totalling more than 12 glasses.
Difficult at first but soon, it become a habit and then second nature.
