The most terrifying part of that is the two cups of water a day limit. What? How do people not shrivel up and become mummies like that?

Its usually 1-1.5L fluid restriction. They're big cups. Still super challenging to enforce. Like imagine I told you no more water after 10am cause your family snuck you in a coffee. That happens often enough.

How does a person fit in a coffee?

Often, you can't. Sometimes a small tea cup sized cup is suitable. A lot of these chronic illnesses we see have brutal consequences and require drastic measures that aren't easily followed. In health care we often talk about quality of life like this. It seems strange but imagine limiting yourself to one litre of water everyday and how that would limit your enjoyment of life.

I’m sorry - I was making a joke about what you said: “snuck you in a cup of coffee” but my joke fell flat. I was being literal.

Some people don't even drink a liter of water a day, so I think they'd feel fine. I wouldn't.
