I think drinking 2-3 liters of water per day (~100 ounces?) is seen as beneficial for the health. People usually don't drink that much because they don't feel thirsty, but they would like to.

(As an aside for the curious, your water intake and your sodium excretion are virtually orthogonal - the body is very, very good at retaining sodium while wasting H20 when necessary. Therefore, drinking lots of water will not cure hypertension or reduce your whole-body sodium burden.)
