    Does just drinking when thirsty keep people properly hydrated? I thought I heard the average person doesn’t drink about water.

      As per a 2010 Italien study done by the european food safety authority an intake of 2.5L (men) and 2L (women) is enough

      Try drinking when you are thirsty but note down how much it is and see if you hit around the mark (on hot days+exercise i am more thirsty and drink more and vice versa)
