How about this... for those of us who have ever had a urine test, I was told by the Dr that the color dictates whether you are hydrated or not, and that you should use that as an idicator.

As far as the thirst thing kicking in, I have that somewhere, still looking.
Something I have from the health plan diet thing we have here at work says that. And talks about how people are typically unable to tell the difference between hunger and thirst, and that usually when people think they are hungry, it is the body stating they need hydration.
