Once again I am going to give my standard contrarian advice but only because I think you are being needlessly frightened and worried by a common myth..
I know all the doctors, the OCF posters, even the OCF website and the linked articles repeat the tired old never proven myth that you need 8 glasses of water a day. What I found amazing was that when I asked my doctors and even when I looked for citations on the OCF web site, all I got was : well that's the general advice. How about a study? How about clinical trials or proof? How about any type of medical evidence whatsoever?. Nope, none they sheepishly admitted. Plenty of articles repeating the canard, but none with proof.

I used to link to the 2005 Snopes article 8 glasses water myth I prefer to use the 2011 clever Mother Jones article instead on the 8 glasses myth: Return of the 8 glasses myth

For lots more, just google : 8 cups of water myth or use the handy dandy link below
Let me google that for you

There is lots to worry about but the water myth is not one of them. check his urine, that's what counts.
