If I drink 48oz of water in 1-2 hours, does it have the same positive effect as it would if I spread it out throughout the day?

Question

# I have a hard time making myself drink water, so sometimes I just try to get it all in within a couple hours. But it got me thinking, does it help my body the same way as it would should I drink small amounts throughout the day.

One time in an aerobics class I got muscle cramps so bad I had to leave. Later when I saw the instructor she asked why I left. I told her “cramps.” I also told her I didn’t understand why because I’d been drinking water all day. She said I likely had flushed out my electrolytes and thus the cramps.
