Revolutionary thought.. What if you only drink when you are thirsty?
No water bottles.. No nothing
Only drink if you get a signal from your body
So, what happens? Do you drop dead?
Do you lose all your muscle gains?
Do you get yellow urine? And is that a sign of severe health problem?
Let's hear it, you are all experts

You will get no argument from me. If folks paid attention to what their bodies tell them, they'd likely be a lot healthier.

LOL, that's true.
George Carlin used to have a bit about "everyone and their personal water transport device".
"Get a drink before you leave the house you lousy *&$#( !!"

Until recently I didn't realize how much water I really wasn't drinking,,not enough apparently for normal everyday health..

I'm almost never truly thirsty
Only when eating salt or running. Either I'm genetically dysfunctional or my body gets enough water

Just drink water and STFU :)

I just drink now 6-8 easily every day last couple months and I feel good all around,,even digestion better overall.

Just imagine how many people are walking around with symptoms of over hydration? It messes with blood glucose, electrolyte levels, etc.

Bottled water is a billion dollar pure profit business. Nestle has been bottling water for free from lake Arrowhead since their license expired over 20 years ago but no one in California knew or cared to check. The biggest cost for them was the plastic they use to hold the water.

what would be considered overhydration?over 8 per day or 10

Evian spelt backwards is Naive.

You have to figure out what works for you. I just got done reading a few books on: under hydration/ideal hydration/over hydration/etc and it's role with sodium/minerals... and it really got me thinking. It's really fascinating.
We're all completely different and our bodies respond differently. That's why I don't believe in the formulas going around(drinking half your weight in ounces, 8x8 glasses per day, etc..). You really have to figure what your "ideal hydration" is.. and the fact that it varies day to day.

I love water, drink it all day and I'm always thirsty.

What's your opinion on drinking from plastic water bottles? I assume it's probably safe for the most part, but what about water that sits in the back of rigs in 120 degree heat for extended periods of time? Like weeks or months? I've read there are warehouses in Vegas that don't have AC and temps in there can get over 130 degrees.

Drink when thirsty?
Truly revolutionary idea indeed. I doubt anyone has ever tried that

Jesus Christ. You read books on drinking water?

yep, lol :D

water = life
countries that do not have access to much water the people there do not live as long as countries that have a high rate of water consumption

I'm a pioneer.

Most people walk around in a dehydrated state

By all accounts thirst isn't reliably accurate/dependable as the sole indicator of dehydration. People who get tired in the day or have headaches = probably just need more water. Hunger and thirst can both be deceptive. I'm not saying you need 10 gallons a day from a big stupid gallon flask thing, but if you have non-clear piss at any point that's probably your kidneys telling you to fuck off.
I don't see how anyone can construably claim this is more healthy than good solid hydration. Some people with awesome super consistent moods, with no dips in energy or mindset throughout the day may not need to give a shit, but most people have lulls or dips or think they have a headache or feel sluggish or can't concentrate or whatever. If this sounds like you....Drink some water you lazy fuck! :)

in other News, Red Meat is now a cause for concerns

Also, being in an over hydrated state can make you feel dry(tongue dryness, etc..). It's a catch 22. The body thinks it needs more water, but sometimes it's the opposite. You may be drinking gallons of water, but you may be dehydrating yourself at a cellular level.

I easily drink 5 to 6 liters now but I had to train my body. The big difference I notice when dieting is on the digestive system. Eating tons of protein is hard on the digestive system but upping the water makes a big difference for me personally. Interesting that you can feel dry as I start to feel thirsty ten minutes after I've had some water. This has happened since I upped it over 3 litres.

yep.
i'm another person who will barely drink anything by instinct. every once in a while i notice a drastic, immediate increase in focus right after drinking. sometimes it makes me more relaxed.
also, i think my body has a sort of 'saturation point'. i can drink liters of water with no increase in urination frequency, but then i hit this 'point' and then every subsequent glass of water seems to just get pissed right out, minutes if not seconds later.

I feel perfectly fine and clear throughout the day on nothing but food. As long as I don't eat bad food or too much my blood sugar level is linear. My food is never salted and no sauce or anything like that. I live in a cold climate and I rarely run so I just don't get thirsty. Sometimes at the gym when sweating I get thirsty, then I drink.
I will probably die in my sleep any time now ;D

Got it covered. Mainly white fish and shrimps for meat on a daily basis. Occasionally salmon or chicken, and rarely red meat.
