My doctor told me kidney stones are very closely associated with mild dehydration. I’ve upped my water consumption and never had another (yet).

Water is almost never bad for you, except in very large amounts.

You absolutely need to drink more water/tea than usual while fasting and this is pretty much recommended at least by most professionals is the survival sector (probably by more, but in this case I know for sure). Especially if you need to get things done; while having no food drinking is even more important.

I have never heard of dry fasting. It sounds pretty dangerous.

It’s not intense fasting, just the ‘only eat from 5-9pm’ daily type. I definitely feel better drinking water than not though, so it may vary by body type.
