You are missing the point. A modern human may not drink water for weeks and not want water. (First hand I went through coffee/alcohol/soft drinks periods at the uni, I know I'm not the only one.) It is objectively bad long term. The way out of this is to drink water, not to wait for thirst to start.
Thirst is an emergency signal not a useful metric to depend on planning water intake.
