Rolled oats with either yogurt or milk for breakfast, 9 out of ten days, and 2 L of water during the day
2 L seems quite excessive
Not really. My countrys recommendations are 1ยฝ L a day, more if you're active, and since I ride my bike for 8-10 hours for exercise a week, and commute on bike for another three, aiming for 2 L is not unreasonable
2 liters of water isn't excessive.
In both cases, 2 liters of water is closer to what you should be drinking.
The paper did not suggest that that is the amount you should be drinking. It had based the adequate daily fluid intake on the median total water intake from US survey data. "In this setting, the AI should not be interpreted as a specific requirement." AI (Adequate daily fluid intake). "... on a day-to-day basis, fluid intake, driven by the combination of thirst and the consumption of beverages at meals, allows maintenance of hydration status and total body water at normal levels.". Just drink when you are thirsty and you should be fine. But you do you.
Yes, drinking when you are thirsty is a good idea. No one is saying 2 liters is a requirement. It's just a normal amount to drink and around the average adequate daily fluid intake amount if all you drink is water.
