Good lord, if I drink more than a liter of liquid a day (unless I’m hiking or something), I end up running to the bathroom pretty much every hour. If I drank as much as you people are suggesting, I’d be in the bathroom non-stop. I can barely get through a two hour meeting as it is. Look, if your pee is coming out clear, more water is not likely to do you much good. If your pee is coming out yellow, drink more. Very simple.
If there’s any doubt about the effects of too much water, then see this…

It was a pretty well known case at the time. 2 (US) gallons is less than 8 litres.
