There are people who weigh themselves before and after exercise in the summer, to measure fluid losses, and that's how much they'll aim to drink. Personally I drink when I'm thirsty, it works pretty well, the only downside is I'll be thirsty after I'm rehydrated and then I'll pee too much the next day.
Yup, the pee test works for me. If clear I’m ok if yellow it could dehydrate a fellow. I tend to hydrate maybe too much but I’m in a hot climate so it is out of habit a good habit.
