MacFarlane also voices Family Guy's baby Stewie, the dog Brian, and the next-door neighbor Quagmire, and all three have completely different accents. MacFarlane said he tried to find a voice for Ted that would be distinct from Griffin's Rhode Island dialect, but was challenged by the task from the beginning.
Many people may have heard the phrase, Drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day, which works out at around 1.9 liters and is close to the IOM's recommendation for women. Drinking 8 by 8 is an easy-to-remember amount that can put people on the right track in terms of water consumption.
Is there a specific equation to figure out how much I should drink? The Institute of Medicine recommends that adult women consume 2.7 L (91 oz) of total water per day, and adult men consume 3.7 L (125 oz). However, this is total water, so those numbers include that which you consume in the food you eat. Since the average American consumes around 20% of their water needs through food, that leaves 2.2 L (74 oz = 9 cups) for women and 3 L (101 oz = 13 cups) for men.
