IK, 2-3 litres for normal people sounds cool. but, 4-5 litres is a LOT of water. instead of having a number to indicate how muc water to have, i prefer having a general guideline of: drink plenty of water and if at night before you sleep you are feeling thirsty: have some more water!

i kinda disagree with this.
soft drinks: most americans mix their soft drinks with PLENTY of ice. this ice melts into the drink and counters the dehydration potential.
coffee: most people always have cofee with some water on the side. even if they dont: coffee does have water content in it.
energy drinks: i hate them so i have nothing substantial to add here.
