The essence of Jewish holidays has not changed over time. E.g. On all Jewish holidays work is forbidden. On Sukkoth the 4 species are takes and Jews sit in Sukkoth. On Passover Matzo is eaten. This has always been the case. The most noticeable change has been that since the temple was destroyed about 2,000 years ago the holiday sacrifices have no longer been offered. The other change has been the introduction of electricity which has changed the lighting from candles to electric, and made it possible to have abundant light, heat and warm food throughout the holiday. (Turning electricity on/off is forbidden,but using time switches is very common.)

Do Americans drink to much water?
Probably more than we really, truly need, but that's not necessarily "too much". Our bodies have evolved to deal with a range of hydration levels, and can adjust quite well to excess water by expelling it- usually by increased urination. Some people anecdotally swear that drinking a massive amount of water helps their skin remain hydrated, but there seems to be limited evidence to support this. Always take care to remain hydrated, especially when in arid environments or when exercising.
