3. 64 ounces of water is the maximum amount of water you have to drink daily.
Answer: FALSE. 64 ounces of water is the minimum amount of water you drink daily. Most weight loss programs suggest the 64 ounces plus an additional 8 ounces for every 25 pounds you want to lose.

When you use the words "have to" and "suggest" aren't you negating the finite quality of your answer? I would have answered true unless it was a rule that you drink and additional 8oz for every 25lbs.

The key word here is "maximum". 64 ounces is the minimum requirement.
