How useful drinking water

About some myths about drinking water, I'm not sure about Myth part. But one thing i do is I do not drink water during my meals. I drink water at the end of my meal.

True, you need more water just to keep your system clean and hydrated yourself otherwise you need to drink as much water that satisfies your system

I start drinking water,right from getting up in the morning until I go to bed in intervals of every 2 hours.

Being from a doctor's family I can say that our daily fluid intake should be approx 2 lits. One should have about 1.5 lits of water everyday so that rest of the food which also contains water water can make up for the remaining 0.5lit. We feel thirsty when our body urgently requires water. We should not wait till we feel thirsty to drink water all the time because many a times such as winters we dont really feel thirsty but water loss keeps happening due to various activities. This may lead to various health complications such as dehydration, UTI etc

The fact is I drink at least 3-4 lit of water depending on weather even if I have to force myself for doing so. The other fact is, I always drink 3-4 glasses of water first thing in the morning.

I used to drink water to quench my thirst and the thirst varies depending on the weather. Our thirst is our best doctor which identifies the need of our body better. 

True, but you need to keep your system clean and hydrated and water is supposed to be the best remedy.

I  used to drink very little water but at present I try to drink almost twelve glasses of water. Well, sometimes I forget to drink but then I try to compensate by drinking in a quick succession.

 Exactly. The first advise given by any doctor irrespective of the ailment is drinking more water. This itself says the importance of consumption of water in regular intervals.
