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.

If you drank all that water, then ate a bunch of salty crackers, you’d probably get thirsty again right?

I’m no doctor, but I feel as though it’s best to meet your body’s hydration needs at that moment than trying to stockpile everything. I feel like this is the same as sleeping for 24 hours straight and then trying to stay awake for 3 days straight.
