Why does common advice stipulate that you must consume pure water for hydration? Won’t things with any amount of water in them hydrate you, proportional to the water content?

Answer 1

I would love to know why whenever I follow the rules and drink pure water, 8 or more glasses per day, I pee SO much. I mean, peeing once every hour if not more than that. As someone who works in the service industry, I can’t exactly be running to the bathroom too much lest I get nothing done, or piss off customers and/or my bosses. That’s why I actually avoid drinking too much pure water.
