I have heard that, but I think we all know we feel better when we keep hydrated.

There is a book called
Your Body's Many Cries for Water
by F. Batmanghelidj..
Your Body's Many Cries for Water: You Are Not Sick, You Are Thirsty: Don't Treat Thirst With Medications by Fereydoon Batmanghelidj.
very informative read

Three litres is a lot - is that in addition to tea/coffee/juice etc?

The dehydration myth has been comprehensively debunked. If you ask anyone who lives in a hot country they will tell you that we are completely mad with our obsession with drinking water.

Interesting! Lack of water can cause dehydration which I've discovered can cause all sorts of problems - for me its palpitations so I keep a large jug in the kitchen and try hard to empty it every day.

What a good idea! ?

Drinking more water is something we should all do. It’s just that tea and coffee (or wine…. or cider!) are more interesting! ?☕️???

I'm trying to drink six (half litre) glasses during the course of the day but I often lose count, being a dotty old lady.

Have finally resolved this minor problem with dice! I keep one by my glass on the kitchen bench and just turn it over each time I finish a glass to the number I've consumed.

Just thought I'd pass on the tip...
