The key is moderation and choosing whole food sources.

Water is essential for energy and optimal health. There are general
guidelines for daily intake, but your individual
needs may vary based on your overall health, activity level, and where you
live.

what we think.
In general, the U.S. National Academies of Science, Engineering, and
Medicine determined that men need an average of
15.5 cups (3.7 liters) and women need an average of 11.5 (2.7 liters) per
day.
This total amount includes water that is in the form of plain water, other
beverages, and food. Foods high in water
content include fruits and vegetables and can account for up to 20% of
average daily water intake.
