And water also can be excreted as faeces, sweating, when we breathe out, water is important in water and sodium metabolism in the body. If you sweat or work out a lot, that shouldn't be the case, although we expire water vapour when we breathe out, but for average person that have sedentary life or low physical exercise, excessive drinking too much will not help you also, it is enough to drink recommended 2L water a day.
