@nprofile1q... i have heard a theory that the Drink More Water dogma is somewhat flawed in that a) we also need electrolytes and drinking lots of water flushes those out; b) we do get water from food and if you're eating foods with high water content you probably don't need to follow the "8 glasses a day" rule. my just-so-story guess is we probably evolved with foods that were higher water content & didn't need the instinct to drink plain water so much
