You want to piss clear. If it's 100% totally clear it's not supposed to be, but generally you want it to be close. Human beings are the only creatures that walk around perpetually dehydrated. This causes your kidneys to store water in your body. Your kidneys assume something is wrong, you're not getting hydrated properly, so it stores water all over your body as a reserve. Hence the term "water weight". This is more common in women than men. They lived in the cave, away from water, while men fought off tigers and drank at the stream. Still though, you need roughly 2L a day. Once you start doing this you'll begin flushing out all the water your body has been storing. Your kidneys think you're back to normal and begin flushing the useless reserves. Water intake also helps rid yourself of headaches, softens skin, etc etc etc.
Bottom line-drink water. Lots of it. You'll feel ten times better, all the time.
