The science clearly points out that drinking sea water in large amounts is very unhealthy. Drinking small quantities without ever offsetting it with fresh water is also very clearly unhealthy.

Is too much tonic water bad for you?
There is a chance that even small amounts of quinine, the bittering agent in tonic water, can cause side effects from diarrhea, to blindness, and in rare cases--pulmonary edema, possibly resulting in death. While casual consumption of tonic water seldom results in more than the mildest of side effects, prolonged and heavy consumption can build to intolerable levels resulting in renal failure.
It should be noted that levels of quinine in tonic water are minute as compared to therapeutic doses and evidence that drinking tonic water for cramps or other preventative measures cannot be confirmed.
For further information explore Quinine Toxicity.

Why is it best to drink water before you are thirsty?
The human body is made up of 60-70% water, so of course it's important to keep that percentage topped up! Even your muscles contain a good amount of water, and we lose water through urination, respiration and sweat.
Other flat/soft drinks are ok too, but they contain caffeine and uneccesary sugars - these aren't always good for your body.
Water allows your body to use its energy more efficiently. You should aim to drink 6-8 full glasses a day, but it varies depending on the individual person - try to drink that much though. Drinking water helps your heart and has been proven to improve health - it also helps prevent headaches, dehydration, sickness, and can make you feel a good deal better about yourself.
You can tell if you aren't drinking enough because you will feel significatnly tired, your skin may not look as healthy as it should, and your urine will have a strong odour and be dark yellow or amber in colour.
Speak to your doctor if you don't think you are drinking enough - they can give you advice.
Over all, it is VITAL to drink enough water a day, so keep a bottle topped up with you at all times, even if you just sip every so often! You'll be doing yourself a favour. :D
