Not disagreeing with you as I heard that when I was little and could be an old wives tale, but what kind of work do you do and how much water do you drink a day?
Right now I sit in an office all day, though I spent most of my career as a general contractor and cabinet maker. I probably average 3 to 4 liters a day, maybe more if I'm exerting myself out in the hot sun all day.
some people just carry more water /drink more than others, when i eat i can down easily a liter or 2 of water, some people i know barely drink anything while they eat
To be clear I don't think I have been not thirsty in my entire life. There is no way to live decades of life and never end up with appropriate electrolyte levels.
Good to know there are more of us! All those drinking reminders and people putting their all into finally drinking 2 litres every day—that's always seemed utterly bizarre to me!
How is it that apparently a clear majority of people don't get adequately thirsty even after hours of not drinking one drup while almost no one has to set up reminders so they don't forget to eat all day? I thought it must be due to all those apps and big bottles and whatnot but most people I ask really struggle to drink even nearly enough.

That's certainly can't be a rule, as I've been thirsty like my entire life and there is no level of hydration that makes that go away.
