Nothing definable: And I do not know where this"formula" arose. It is said that as we grow older our thirst mechanism is inadequate to maintain body hydration. For most of the time i rely on my natural thirst.

Can be dangerous: Drinking abnormally large amounts of water can be dangerous. This causes major electrolyte abnormalities and can have very serious consequences.
