1. While I have no reason to invalidate your personal perspective

I find DIY psychological and medical advice troublesome.

I'm pretty sure that drinking a quart of water won't hurt you, although in a half an hour it may give you the urge to piss like a race horse...which might be inconvenient if you are stuck on a city bus.

A person with mild dehydration might have various physiological responses that could be 'alieved" by drinking water...
reduction of headache, confusion, etc are all symptoms that could be mixed-up with 'feeling better'.

I can't say that they aren't.

But, DU has pretty straight forward rules about medical advice and that is DON'T GIVE IT!

If you really have an urge to share such information, do it with your friends via their other media accounts.
