There is also no real hard fast rule on how much you need to drink. Most of the suggestions are not really based on any scientific facts. There are however a few thinks about beverages like even water that are a fact. Those being the colder the drink the more weight you will burn as your body will use energy to warm up. That to much calcium and caffeine can lead to kidney problems which are typically stones. That green teas are full of antioxidants, that a cup or two of coffee also seems to be healthy for your heart as is a glass of red wine per day. Then lastly distilled water which is pure water is no real better than regular water for you unless you live in a 3rd world country or have very very bad water. Well also if your a conspiracy theorist or fall into one of those groups who think small doses of fluoride make your children retarded. Other than that yes if you drink distilled water your body will find the trace elements and minerals elsewhere.

There really just is one hard fast rule. Drink plenty and drink often. If you actually get thirsty you have reached a level in your body that has passed its normal need for liquid. Aim for super clear piss and pissing every hour or so.
