Interesting , Zen. Living in CA where it is dryer , I need more water than I used to. Add a few chronic conditions and all the drugs that go with them - about 8 out of 10 times more water helps.
Say! look at you! You look just like me! We're very pretty.

A Klein bottle would make an exquisite wine decanter.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think everyone's overhydrated and we don't need to be drinking so much
I think the chances of most people taking "medical" advice and actually drinking too much water (Mountain Dew and/or coffee are a much different battle) are pretty slim. When have people actually paid that much heed?
Is heed for both the taking and the paying? I'm disconfused. What else can you do with heed?
I have inaccurately scoped today, and I don't know what the rest of my week looks like.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Just bought a ticket to see Audra McDonald in concert in October. Woot! I love being somewhere where things happen again.

The Klein article is all the mindfuck I think I can handle at this juncture.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
someone should be able to keep their butt in the seat for 5 hours straight
Don't they know that sitting is what is killing us all?!?!?!?!?!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The 8-glasses-of-water-a-day thing was never real medical advice, FWIW. I think most people drink when they're thirsty and do just fine.

Our wings are not tired.
I drink a lot of water, well more than a lot. This may be related to living in a hot climate and sweating a lot. It would not be unusual for me to go to the restroom 5-6 times a day at work. It is at the opposite side of the building so I get a bit of walk in too! So with the whole being an old female and drinking gallons of water, the person keeping track of my restroom breaks would need a long sheet of paper.

I'm thirsty right now and I have a carafe (half full) a bottle (2/3 full), a mug (1/3 full), and a cup (3/4 full, marvel at my variety) and I'm not drinking anything because I also want to pee and don't want to get up.
I am probably not the most stupid person not drinking right now, but there might be clamour for second best.

Barring extenuating circumstances which may complicate matters, I think most people drink when they're thirsty.
