Supposedly when you get thirsty your already anywhere from hydrated to mild dehydrated depending on the person, with most of us being slightly de hydrated. Now this is not really a problem for most of us but if your exercising or in a really hot climate your not adjusted to then you can dehydrate before your body tells you your thirsty. For most of us it’s fine to drink water when we are thirsty though.
