I know water consumption is a little different with ppl on AAS, but here's some food for thought I wanted to pass along...

Drowning in deception no longer
Remember all those times when I told you that the mainstream's mentality on H20 consumption was nothing but a bunch of bunk? Well, it turns out that there's now some bona- fide research to this effect that could force the mainstream to back off of their "water torture" philosophy.
Believe it or not, until this point, there's been relatively little study into water turnover in the body, yet the prevailing conventional wisdom is that you need at least 8 glasses of pure water a day to remain among the living. Never mind that there's really no research concluding this...
Anyway, according to a recent ABC news online article, a study of 458 healthy people between the ages of 40 and 79 published in the American Journal of Physiology revealed NO LINK between hyper-hydration and better health. Also, a recent Institute of Medicine report concluded that most
people adequately meet their hydration needs simply by DRINKING WHEN THEY'RE THIRSTY.
Of course, I've been repeating this "drink-only-when-you're- thirsty" mantra for decades. And if you happen to be thirsty enough to consume 8 glasses of water in a day (few people are), so be it. But don't force it on the mainstream's say-so.
Oh, and here's a little icing on the cake from the Institute of Medicine report: Your daily intake of water can be obtained from just about any liquid in which water is a component (which is basically anything that's drinkable). That includes coffee and alcoholic beverages...
Take that, mainstream water-whiners!
