Notes -
Too low for what? I think the evidence on drinking more water when you're not thirsty is pretty mixed. I drink liquids when I'm thirsty, pretty much never any plain water, and have been unable to discern even the slightest negative effect from this despite being a hobby runner that regularly runs 50+ miles per week.
Given my lack of enthusiasm for water, I start the day with coffee, have soda, Spindrift, or low-sugar sport drinks when thirsty during the day, and a couple beers at night. Seems fine, no drawbacks, would recommend. I'm never going to understand how people that are almost completely sedentary wind up seeming so goddamned thirsty comparatively.
specific fluid requirements vary by individual but the main thing is that if your piss looks like apple juice, or even worse apple cider you're probably doing hydration wrong, and if not, the alternative is some sort of kidney or liver disease.
