That was one of the articles I linked to show that hyponatremia is more common than dehydration. The other showed that 6-7% of people have mild hyponatremia. I never said it would it would kill you, I said is can be dangerous to overhydrate. You don't need to drink that much, and there are cases where it can be harmful. Barring any health issues, only drinking water when you're thirsty also is not harmful.
most Americans don't drink enough water
No most Americans are overweight, and eat the saltiest food imaginable. That is way more likely to give you kidney stones.
Well considering it is a youtube short made by a doctor, I think it's worth listening to, but if you want here's a video of a member of the negotiating committee for the writers guild talking to a doctor about proper hydration.
But the fact of the matter is that dehydration is not a problem for most people in america, while overhyration can easily become one. Even mild hyponatremia increases your risk of death.
I assure you, the amount of dehydration you may have if you're a little parched is nowhere near as dangerous as messing up your sodium levels.
