Worst case is you remove excess fluid through urination. Best case, you avoid things like fatigue, headaches, high blood pressure, kidney stones, and other such things that result from even the most moderate forms of dehydration (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dehydration#Signs_and_symptoms) | |

But if you choose to follow it you should remember it is for total water intake, including food, which is often over 90% water. In the absence of very intense sweating (a gallon of sweat???) nobody needs to actually drink that much water. | |
