Most of us are dehydrated. We know we should drink enough water, but the majority of us still don’t. A report from a CBS News outlet a few years ago noted this:
Most people know that they are supposed to drink water, but up to 75 percent of Americans may be functioning in a chronic state of dehydration, according to new research.
“We have a tendency in the U.S. to drink a lot of beverages that are mildly dehydrating,” said Mary Grace Webb, Assistant Director for Clinical Nutrition at New York Hospital.

The report goes on to note that constant hunger could be one indicator that you are dehydrated. (Another reason staying hydrated helps you maintain a healthy weight!)
