Women / Men who had a high daily intake of water (5+ glasses) had 41% / 51% fewer heart attacks as those who had low intakes (<2 glasses).
With those who drank other fluids (coffee, soda pop, etc.), they found no protective effects of higher fluid intake.
In fact, those who had the highest fluid intake from other beverages (in place of water) had higher mortality rates, especially in women. - Source: American Journal of Epidemiology 155 (9):827-33, Jan. 2002

Happy Juice?
Bad mood? A recent study in the Journal of Nutrition suggests that mild dehydration is enough to dampen your spirits.
Researchers tested 25 women’s moods throughout different periods of hydration and exercise. The findings? Even the slightest amount of dehydration—whether they were working out or resting—resulted in a bad mood. The less hydrated the women were, the less happy they were.
Mild dehydration affects you too (though it might affect women more), says the study’s co-author Harris Lieberman, Ph.D., of the US Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine. So how does it work? Researchers aren’t entirely sure. They speculate that dehydration can be detected by our neurons and communicated to the region of our brain that regulates mood as soon as our thirst symptoms kick in resulting in crankiness.
