That's such BS. Your body tells you when you need to drink with this thing called thirst.

That's when your body tells you that it's already dehydrated, actually.

And is a longer life spent mostly urinating really worth the effort?

There are times when a good pee is a very fine thing, indeed.

“The notion that there is widespread dehydration has no basis in medical fact,” says Dr. Robert Alpern, dean of the medical school at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas.

Doctors from a wide range of specialties agree: By all evidence, we are a well-hydrated nation. Furthermore, they say, the current infatuation with water as an all-purpose health potion — tonic for the skin, key to weight loss — is a blend of fashion and fiction and very little science.

I read once that a good way to determine if you are drinking the right amount of liquids is by the color of your urine. If dark red, not enough. If clear, too much. So a light yellowish color then is what to aim for (besides the center of the bowl, i mean).
