Why is it recommended that we drink a lot of water everyday? If you don’t pee, you don’t lose water in your body so is it okay to only drink water after peeing so you keep the same amount of water in your body?

The other two commenters are exactly right. To test this, [hold your hands over your mouth like this stock photo](https://c8.alamy.com/comp/EN7WGJ/portrait-of-a-young-man-with-hands-over-mouth-EN7WGJ.jpg) and exhale. You should be able to feel the humidity of your breath on your hands.
It’s such a small amount of water, most of time you don’t notice, but you are constantly exhaling a little bit each time, and there’s constant evaporation from your skin and eyeballs.
It’s a good idea to drink a lot of water because if you drink extra, you just pee a little more and there is no problem. If you don’t drink enough, your body starts to work less efficiently because it runs low on water and you get dehydrated.
