Uhm ... many people don't know this, but the drink 7 glasses a day is a myth. Everybody needs different amounts of water. Just drink when you're thirsty is the way to go, drinking too much doesn't get you healthier, you just go to the washroom more. If I'm not mistaken that is the scientific consensus now. Because our body does regulate water levels, drinking more water will require your body get rid of it otherwise it'd cause electrolytes imbalance, that doesn't happen, you just go to the washroom.
If she said drink more water instead of soft drinks/energy drinks/beer/whatever, then yea she'd be right, but unless people are suffering from dehydration, drinking is just that, no magic powers.
