The more I age the more important hydration turns out to be. Gastric issues, joint pain, blood pressure, weight problems, kidney stones, bad breath, constipation.. and now brain issues too?
Do yourself a favor, and start drinking a ton of water!

> start drinking a ton of water!
But not too much as you don't want water poisoning!

A ton is definitely too much.

7 litters...

...Not that much... 3ish liters spread out over the day is good. Too much water will strip your body of electrolytes and salt.
I recently upped my water intake and can report that my skin and mood feel better. I caffeinate with a strong coffee and 2 cups of tea in the morning, and around 12 I switch to pint glasses of water every 2 hours or so until 6-7 o'clock.

Yea 2.5-3l seems to be the proper amount. Only drawback is having to pee every 30 minutes.

That's an advantage - it means you're not sitting e.g. at a computer monitor and keyboard for too long. Getting up twice an hour (to pee or not) greatly reduces the potential for ergonomic harm that desk jobs - especially computer use -are known for.

Fair :D I walk everywhere anyway so I think I'm good in that regard

Please correct me if wrong but this has almost nothing to do with broad human dehydration or hydration.
I think it is an interesting finding and it would be interesting to hear more about the implications from someone in the field.
I only broadly understand this is some kind of peeking behind the curtain of some process that was not fully understood before

On an absolute tangent, every kid today has a water bottle. It's a constant priority for us when we leave the house, and when we arrive at the destination, it's "stack yours with the rest of the kids'".
I never had a water bottle growing up. Was I just constantly dehydrated? Seems like it.

Some schools don’t allow children to leave the classroom to get a drink of water unless it’s at recess or between classes. So that’s why they carry water bottles nowadays.

Progress! When I was in school we weren't allowed to leave class OR have a water bottle. If you had food... good luck, that was like the worst school crime for some reason.

Kids aren’t allowed to go to the toilet in the middle of a class?
Though I don’t remember not being allowed to drink something between class breaks ever being a problem growing up. Classes aren’t that long.
The other thing is that we mostly only had glass bottles back then, so of course kids wouldn’t carry those around.

Leaving the classroom to pee was frowned upon during lessons, and during breaks obviously there was a queue.

Same for us.
I think as kids were were indeed constantly thirsty when playing in the streets, but on family trips my mom would have a big water container, so maybe it's just a kids/parents split.
What baffles me is the rise of water bottles in school, we just went to drink from the bathroom faucet when I was a kid.

Yep, or the hose that was being used to water the playing field. Ah the sweet taste of pfas on a hot summers day

It is compensation for all the sugar, caffeine and UPF causing dehydration IMO. And aircon perhaps.
People in Spain, Portugal, Italy etc don't carry 2 gallon water bottles everywhere.
The ones who have better diets are just going along with the crowd (though not necessarilyin better shape), using the oversized pacifier to signal they're healthy ("people who exercise have water bottles. Therefore I must show off a water bottle")
And kids are products of the parents

yeah same here.
Also my wife drinks at least 3 liters a day... I think I'd struggle to stomach more than a liter of liquid on a normal day. (not counting hard work or hot weather.)

One can get used to quite strange life styles. One could be very active, drink nothing but coffee and alcohol. If they feel a bit sluggish thats just normal. If one gets used to being sluggish (from any deficiency) fixing it might make sleeping difficult or one ends up working harder than one should. If the job is a mindless grind gaining mental clarity might feel terrible.
