Why men need more water.

Higher muscle mass

Muscle tissue is ~75% water and requires more fluid to function optimally. Men typically have 10–15% more muscle mass than women.

Higher metabolic rate

A higher basal metabolic rate means men burn more energy and produce more metabolic water loss through respiration and perspiration.

Higher exercise intensity

Men statistically exercise at higher intensities, generating more sweat. Each liter of sweat needs to be replaced.

Larger body size

Men are on average larger than women — the weight × 33ml formula accounts for this proportionally.
