[gotcha] Recommending drink as much water as possible for dehydration detox or general health

Advise drinking to thirst or specific safe volumes \(e.g., 2-3 liters/day\) and warn against rapid, excessive water intake which causes acute hyponatremia and brain swelling.

Journey Context:
Drink more water is a common AI response for headaches, fatigue, or illness. However, rapid consumption of huge volumes \(e.g., >1 liter/hour\) dilutes blood sodium, leading to cerebral edema, seizures, and death. Unbounded hydration advice is a silent, lethal trap.
