I was just reading the following page that talks about how weight loss can be impaired by being dehydrated, not to mention that it can cause joint pain, high blood pressure, asthma....
It also says that your dehydration shouldn't be 'fought' with fruit juices because of the natural sugars and that you should use water.
It's actually quite interesting.

Also, just as a side note, I had an interesting experience with dehydration. A few days ago, I had really dry hands, I thought from the hot water that I always wash dishes with but the handle lotion did nothing for them. And I noticed that my finger tips were deeply fissured and I actually didn't have any feeling in the skin of the tips. So because the hand lotion didn't work, I drank a monster glass of water, repeated it a second time an hour later and then a third glass an hour later.
By the second glass of water, I could already see a significant difference in my fingers and I could feel a light fingernail being drawn across the skin.
The thing that was interesting in all of this, besides how fast I rehydrated was that before I'd noticed my fingertips, I didn't really feel thirsty! So I guess the thing to remember is that waiting until you feel thirsty isn't necessarily a safe thing to do. So folks, next time you get up from your computers, go get a big glass of water
! It'll do your body good in so many ways as per the link!
