Alcohol can dehydrate you. Alcohol is a diuretic. It causes your body to remove fluids from your blood through your renal system, which includes the kidneys, ureters, and bladder, at a much quicker rate than other liquids. If you don’t drink enough water with alcohol, you can become dehydrated quickly.
Drink when you are thirsty. This 8-glasses-a-day thing leaches water-soluble vitamins from your body. It’s one of the silliest memes to come down the pike in years. Wine? Unless you are Gerard Depardieu, you probably can’t handle 8 glasses a day.
I’ve started my own religion. We believe David Copperfield is the messiah. I have a change.org petition out there to get him crucified for his jaw-dropping sorcery.
At UCLA there was this male drinking club called the Kelps. Upon asking of the requirements to join, I was told “one keg per person”.
I never found out whether that meant full 15 gallon or pony 7.5 gallon keg. Now did I find out over what time span that keg needed to be consumed. Say a full keg over a 48 hour weekend. Now I ask the question: Can anyone even drink that much WATER over that time span? At any rate, I fully passed on the Kelps. That was in the mid 60s. I doubt that club is still there.

Dr. told me to drink less and eat healthy. Now I put my morning whiskey on my Wheaties.

Jesus was an alcoholic!?!
I guess that would explain things a bit.

Eileen’s doctor should know that the advice about drinking 8 glasses of water a day is not scientific.

Might as well try to write an all encompassing text on quantum mechanics.

Any excuse, Eileen, any excuse. Doesn’t even have to be religion based.
