If getting clear urine requires you drink more water than you want,
is that good? Is having to dump excess water good?

I haven't heard anything about too much water being bad for you. IMHO
it's just a waste of effort if you go overboard with it.

It is my understanding that CLEAR URINE and FLOATING STOOLS are signs of
a really clean digestive system.

Or was it signs of unhealthy preocupation with pee and TOXINS and that
sort of thing?

IIRC floating stools are an indicator of sufficient fiber in your
diet.
