Drink enough water the right way to get taller. Drink six cups of pure water (100 pounds or less) to eight cups of water (more than 100 pounds) to fill the fluid sacks in the spine's disks, which are 90% water, and shrink when dehydrated. It won't work to drink more soda pop or beer to increase height. Drink pure water on an empty stomach. At first you'll find yourself needing to use the restroom more often. But little by little, your cells and disks will plump up and absorb the water into their structures, and your body will become accustomed to this amount and help you get taller.
