Looked at the article, and it starts off pretty stupid

While everyone else seems to be slugging H20 from 40-ounce Stanley tumblers, I have never understood the appeal of drinking plain, tasteless water all day.

Some people live in areas where the water tastes bad, but seeing the water as "boring" might mean that you're drinking too much of the other stuff (soda, juice, sugary etc). It's not that those other things are not hydrating, but they're unhealthy for other reasons.

The question feels more pressing than ever given rising temperatures, heat waves

I refuse to normalize a world where people lack access to clean drinking water. ๐Ÿ˜ 

The rest of the article is pretty standard advice. There's no set amount of water that everyone needs to drink, and your diet/lifestyle/body composition/the weather will all play a role. Going based on thirst is a good indicator, but make sure you actually drink water when you're thirsty. !hydrohomies@lemmy.ml

But using that to justify unequal access to clean drinking water is a big no.
