That's a pretty good average. Drink more on hot days and less on cool/cold days.

I work at a Hospice and Home Health company and the nurses told me to drink water whenever I feel thirsty. For seniors, it's a bit more complicated. The gland that tells you that you are thirsty tends to get worn down in your old age and doesn't tell your body when you are thirsty. It also depends what you are trying to do? On a daily basis? I just keep a water bottle at my desk and sip from it whenever I want. I probably have to refill it like 4-5 times a day. That's just what I've heard though. There are many factors that determine how much you should actually drink. There's a great article on all of it right here: http://www.cnn.com/HEALTH/library/NU/00283.html
