The water one always bothered me too. I believed it, cuz all the experts said this, but it really did not make any sense. If it was that important, you should see acute differences in your health. 8 Glasses is a lot! All I really noticed is that I peed a whole lot more. That was the crazy part. If you needed so much water, why are you peeing most of it out? Granted, it is removing wastes, but c'mon - if you drink less water, your pee is just more concentrated with wastes. Plus, your body is working more moving all that water through. A lot of this stuff we all know (especially if you think about it) but we got so used to hearing these myths as facts, we just accepted it. Turned off our thinkers. Kinda like religion.
Most people I know only drink 2-3 glasses of something a day. Europe is not big on beverages - especially large ones. Everyone here seems to be doing OK!
