Water: How much should you drink every day?

There's an e-mail that circulates about the particular times to drink water to get additional benefits. According to this e-mail, "drinking water at the correct time maximizes its effectiveness on the Human body." It says that drinking:
  • 2 glasses of water after waking up helps activate internal organs;
  • 1 glass of water 30 minutes before a meal helps digestion;
  • 1 glass of water before taking a bath helps lower blood pressure;
  • 1 glass of water before going to bed avoids stroke or heart attack.
It's been my habit to drink a glass of water after waking up. A few minutes after, I feel my bowels move. So, I guess it's true that water in the morning before taking anything solid or liquid activates the internal organs.
