[gotcha] Recommending increased water intake for dehydration without upper limits

Specify maximum safe hourly/daily water intake and warn against rapid overconsumption, especially in endurance sports or specific medical conditions.

Journey Context:
'Drink plenty of water' is a reflex agent response. However, excessive water intake dilutes blood sodium, leading to exercise-associated hyponatremia \(EAH\), which can cause cerebral edema and death. This is particularly dangerous in marathon runners or patients on certain medications. Unbounded water advice is a silent killer because the agent assumes more is always better.
