Apart from being more hydrated? Honestly it's true. I never used to drink unless I was properly thirsty. I had headaches each morning and chapped lips, and my pee was always dark. I decided to start drinking more water, and I now average between 1-2 litres a day. I rarely get headaches, I have more energy, my pee is clearer and my complexion and lips are much much better.

You don't add the 2 litres on to the liquid you already drink. It's just 2 litres of liquid per day, whether it be water, juice etc. (Obviously drinks like coffee, tea, and coke aren't good for you in large quantities due to sugar and caffeine.)
Again the water you get out of food won't constitute a fat lot to your fluid intake. Try it, cut out water completely and just eat 'wet' food. Apples, carrots, sweetcorn etc, see how long it takes before you're thirsty and before you become dehydrated. 2-3 days at most. If you cut out food and water, you would be looking at around the same time. I remember reading before that even a gravy soaked Sunday dinner only has around 400ml of liquid in it, and this isn't always nutritious liquid either, fats and oils don't count as a healthy fluid intake.
after that a 20p coffee from the klicks machine then i finish at about 4 ish by the time i get home i dont feel hungry atall till about 7-8pm then i snack :/ bad i know.
