Aldo respect, this article is a waste of time. We're so obsessed with putting a number on everything - that's why the "8 glasses a day" rule exists. It's not literal. It means "drink a lot of water throughout the day and you'll feel better." Which is true. I drink tons of water and it's made a massive difference in every aspect of my life. I have no idea how much I drink daily, though. It doesn't matter. Because we're all different. Just drink more water, and stop trying to figure out that magic number by reading articles from the media that change every week.

- fridek 11y agoYou see, your idea about how the water consumption works is invalid. Water is not vitamin C, there is such thing as drinking too much and it leads to lower sodium levels in blood. It is actually advised to not drink too much water immediately after exercise, when your electrolytes levels are already low and further dilution may affect your brain functions. Probably not in a fatal way, but still. The article is actually right that insisting on drinking more water is bullshit, and a dangerous one. You should drink when you are thirsty, it is really very simple. The only people advising otherwise are either selling bottled water or have drank enough kool-aid already.
- IkmoIkmo 11y agoIf you read the article he's basically saying drinking 'tons' of water is completely unnecessary and not linked to any evidence of benefits to your health, contrary to what you're saying. He's a scientist, you're speaking from personal experience, which is as valid as people saying they feel much better after praying to their pet lizard every night (i.e. it may be valid, it may simply be a placebo, and it may simply be unrelated entirely).
