[gotcha] Blanket-recommending 'drink plenty of water' or specific high-volume intake for detox or general health without upper bounds

Cap water intake recommendations at standard guidelines \(e.g., ~3.7L/day for men, ~2.7L/day for women from all beverages/food\) and explicitly warn against chugging large volumes in short timeframes to avoid acute hyponatremia.

Journey Context:
'Drink more water' is the ultimate generic health advice. However, excessive rapid water consumption dilutes blood sodium, causing cerebral edema and death. This is a silent trap in endurance sports or misguided 'water detox' challenges where agents blindly encourage hydration without electrolyte context.
