1 - 1 glass after you wake up helps activate internal organs
2 - 2 glasses of water before meal will help digestion
3 - 1 glass before you sleep will help avoid stroke or heart attack at midnight
4 - 1 glass after taking a bath helps lower blood pressure.
after all the body just throws out what it doesnt need, so stop drinking a gallon of water everyday. 3-4 glasses is more than enough.
hard times are upon us people, treat water with respect.

Really? Is this from the dark ages guide of how to stay healthy? Please don't try and pass on information unless you know its true and actually helpful.
The amount of water you need is dependent on the environment and amount of activity you are doing. When you think your just passing on that "extra" water its actually doing some very helpful stuff.
In times of massive water conservation, why are you taking a bath and worried about your blood pressure? how many people do you know who have not had a stroke at midnight and didn't drink a glass of water before they slept. Wouldn't it matter then when you also went to bed?
Even apart from the above approaches, if you drink enough fluid so that you rarely feel thirsty and produce 1.5 liters (6.3 cups) or more of colorless or slightly yellow urine a day, your fluid intake is probably adequate. If you're concerned about your fluid intake, check with your doctor or a registered dietitian. He or she can help you determine the amount of water that's best for you.
Dietary recommendations. The Institute of Medicine advises that men consume roughly 3 liters (about 13 cups) of total beverages a day and women consume 2.2 liters (about 9 cups) of total beverages a day.
