Whatever minerals are in your water are far less concentrated than they are in the foods you eat. It’s not the absolute amount of minerals you ingest, it’s the concentration of your urine that causes more crystallization to kidney stones. Gotta keep that piss dilute.

That makes sense to me. I'm just spit balling here really, but it's based on the uncertainty around the cause of kidney stones. There are certain risk factors but I think genetics play the biggest role, iirc

These types of charts were hung in all the heads in boot camp.

The ones I am used to told you to drink anywhere from "keep drinking" to "drink 2 canteens of water right now." Apparently dehydration during boot camp was somewhat common before they focused on it in the '80s and '90s.

Thanks for that. According to the water enthusiast people, I'm incredibly dehydrated all the time, but not according to this chart. Hydration is definitely something to be aware of, especially if you're doing things that cause you to lose moisture, but honestly most people have no issues staying hydrated today. Turns out sitting indoors and hardly moving doesn't cause a lot of moisture loss.

The biggest factor is diet - a large portion of ingested water comes from food.

Someone who snacks on carrots is going to need to drink a very different amount of water to stay hydrated as someone who eats jerky and crackers.

There's also obviously differences in kidney function, salt retention, even just body size. Current medical advice is to just drink when you are thirsty, which works for just about everyone.

No doubt, there’s a lot of factors at play. Having diluted pee is good preventative maintenance though.
