They say "a happy mountaineer voids clear" but if there's any disagreement I'll go with quantity every time.
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.
