Here's but one: Cholesterol: When dehydration causes too much liquid to be removed from inside the cells, the body tries to stop this loss by producing more cholesterol.

Again, not talking about dehydration. What benefit does excess water consumption give, versus just having a drink when I'm thirsty?

You might be dehydrated even when your thirst is quenched. Dehydration is not just like being in a desert about to die. You'll need to engage in 'excess water consumption' to reset to a new non-dehydrated equilibrium for your body.
