Everyone is different. I have an umpire in my area that drinks more than 2 gallons of water a day, every day and that is not enough even though the doctors insist there is nothing wrong with him.

Unless you are the type that drinks plenty of water regularly, IMO, twenty four hours just isn't going to do it. The 3-4 days gives the body a chance to adjust. Is it the same for everyone? No
Could be. I generally drink about a gallon of coffee and close to a gallon of water each day. During weekend tournaments, the coffee is dropped to 1 large mug and the water is doubled - at least. I'll go through 2 bottles (about 24 oz each) with each plate game.
