How bad is it that I get 80% of my daily fluid requirements in the AM?

Before I started working out I would get my required Water intake daily but it was somewhat of a struggle. Now that I go to the gym every morning I can easily drink 60+oz of water during my workout. When I get home I might drink another 20oz throughout the day/evening. Is this bad that I get the majority of my water intake in the morning and not spread out throughout the day.

Interesting topic so curious what others have to say. The only thing I can contribute is some research I learned some time ago. From a hydration standpoint, our bodies can only absorb about 8 oz of Water every 20 minutes. So, if you drink more than that the extra Water just flushes through your system and doesn't contribute to rehydration.

That being said, you could still be drinking enough water, but would be possible to still be dehydrated. At least that's how I'd interpret the 8oz/20min fact.

I have heard something quite similar. Based on that it seems like a good idea to spread it out more.
