i disagree, not with the goodness of it, but if she is not really sweating it out (ie working outside) and dehydraiting and Grace is a wee petite filly then i think she will have to go pee quite a lot.

its a small price to pay for the benefits. I dont understand people who dont take onboard tonnes of water..

Re: water intake

I wouldn't over do it. Can be unhealthy and, under exceptional circumstances, even cause death (see URL below) !

Drinking too much increases your total blood volume and puts extra effort on your heart, as well as causing problems with your kidneys (glomeruli)
