>when you're sick, and it's important to drink 3x more fluids than you normally would
Water bottle company propaganda. Your sense of thirst tells you how much you should drink. There's never a good reason to force yourself to drink in the absence of thirst, and also that 8 glasses of water a day meme is complete bullshit.

You usually use stupidly excessive doses in animal or in vitro studies because you want to learn something new about what happens when you take biological pricesses to their logical conclusion.
Similar idea to how we get a disproportionate amount of medical breakthroughs from the study of extreme cases of abnormal health problems or injuries. It's kind of like by analogy how you might have a better chance figuring out a stage magic trick if you watched an amateurish magician who fucks it up vs. a pro magician who does it perfectly.
