Ruben Schade - Figuring out water

Ruben writes about keeping himself hydrated throughout the day and the ambiguity about how much water is actually required by your body. The thought about tracking water consumption through a database had just entered by mind only to be replaced instantaneously by the simplicity of a spreadsheet. In the very next paragraph Ruben writes:
