    I don't think we can listen to everything we read/hear/see. if you're thirsty drink, if not I don't think it's necessary. it's that easy. I think the pro's outweigh the cons and frankly I feel better when I've had enough water throughout the day.. most people do. sorry AOL News.

    I drink my 8 glasses of water a day and sometimes more than.. and when I don't, I feel thirsty, bloated and have a headache.

    I say that if it's not harming you and feel ok.. keep at it. If you're really concerned then go see a doctor.
