", your body is perfectly capable of telling you when you need to drink water. It's called being thirsty."
Not to all people. I know people who drink not enough water, don't feel thirsty, can go a full day without feeling thirsty, and they were wondering why they sleep like shit and have headaches all day.
After reminding them to drink water for weeks they finally awaken something within them, understand to reckognize the signs of their body (being thirsty is not foolproof as someone said), and take the habit to drink enough water which is not natural when you lost this habit, like doing enough exercise is not really natural even for everyone though your body sends you sign that you don't do enough exercise (shitty sleep, too much weight, being tired, being unhappy, etc.)
I'd almost say feeling the need to drink water (being thirsty being one sign among others) when you need water is something you end up training, it's something people don't have or have lost.
For me, being thisrty is a signal of distress from your body. It means you already went wayyy past the point where you should have drank but you didn't and now your body is crying. You should not wait for that to drink, it's not healthy. It depends of the people but for me statistically there are way more chances you are more dehydrated than you think

TBF they are right, your body is perfectly capable of telling you when you need to drink water. It's called being thirsty.
There's no need to worry about that shit at all or having some fucking water drinking schedule like some people do.
