It's a bit of a mystery where that meme got started, but it has never been the advice of doctors as a matter of general health. It may have gotten its start in the 1940's around the amount of fluids in both solid foods and beverages in the average diet.
At any rate, if you are becoming a bit dehydrated you will feel thirsty. Feel free to have some water or any other fluid. Certainly most of us are going to be better off drinking water than alcohol or sweetened drinks. It is simply not necessary to push fluids beyond this point.
