Did any of you actually read the article posted? Because most of what you're saying is in direct contradiction to the science presented in the article.

Vegetables and fruits are packed with water content, as are a lot of other foods. So if you're getting your five a day and also drinking an occasional cup of tea, juice, and some water, you're probably getting enough--if you're not exercising. Of course, when you exercise, you want to hydrate yourself. Otherwise, you really have no reason to drink that much water--unless you like peeing that much.

Personally, I get by on about 20 oz. of water a day on a day I don't exercise, in addition to tea, coffee, and the occasional soda. I've never seen any evidence as to me being dehydrated.
