Watch me pee much less!

I read causually in a non-scientific source that the 8x8 glasses of water was total BS. I drink a lot, pee a lot. Hmm. The article did quote sources, but I had thought that it sounded unlikely that while most of what we 'discover' about what is healthy for us, such as ruffage...small meals often rather than 3 big ones...seems to make sense from an evolutionary standpoint. We used to eat things we found on the ground.
The water thing never made sense since to drink that much water a day we'd have to be dolphins. Now I hear it's a myth. Back to vodka!
EDIT: Oh - speaking of diuretics, it also was found that the diuretic effects of caffeine are quickly accounted for by the body. So, coke hydrates!
