4L of fluids, currently around 3L of water + 1L of milk.

If you're awake for around 16 hours, not sure why drinking an average of 500ml of fluids every 2 hours seems excessive to you. Or why drinking 1L of fluids every 2 hours (when your agenda for the day includes doing a 15 mile hike in hot weather) is considered a lot.

If what I've described above would make you go to the bathroom every 30 mins, perhaps see a doctor.

That's the point, you said double it. 8L is a ton of water, even when active. No one is carrying that much, even the military. 4L is excessive for a normal day not being active.

I appreciate the feedback, but perhaps don't tell me what to do.
