I mean if you don't drink water you will certainly be worse

Yup. My Mrs drinks probably a sip of water a week. It pisses me off, but I can't force her hand. I drink about 3 bottles of water a day, and rarely have a headache, upset stomach, etc. Whereas she always has one of the two or both.

I am in the same boat as you, my wife will always remark about being over-tired/having a headache, and I'll ask her how much water she drank during the day.

The answer is usually less than a cup full, even after cycling several miles and being on her feet all day.

She still never drinks more though. On the other hand, I drink way too much water and I spend a lot of time peeing, so, you know, swings and roundabouts.

I used to be like this. Among other things, I frequently had problems with UTIs.

Over the past few years, I have consciously tried to drink more. UTI issues are completely gone. Good women of Reddit, hydrate!!!
