As a tangential reminder: drink when you’re thirsty. That’s your body’s way of saying it’s time for water. It’s worked for millions of years. You don’t need someone this late in evolution telling you you need 1.97 liters of water a day or whatever bullshit number.
Which is way too much if you ask me. I had maybe a full 800 ml bottle while playing indoor badminton in the humid thunderstorm heat for like 3 hours. But that’s rigorous exercise, not a daily thing.
Just eat and drink when hungry and thirsty and you will live to see tomorrow.
Haha yeah.
Once when bicycle touring an older lady cornered me and kept grilling me on what method I was using to stay hydrated. I was puzzled by her repeated questions and eventually said, “Oh! I use a method honed to perfection by 500 million years of vertebrate evolution.”
She looked puzzled a moment, so I clarified: “I drink when I’m thirsty.”

She stomped off in a huff.
