Intaking fluid into the body pushes other excess fluid out. So long as you are drinking a consistent amount of non-caffeinated fluid from day to day, and keeping your sodium intake at a healthy level - you will not be retaining fluid. If you try to deny your thirst, or allow yourself to remain dehydrated - then the body will retain any fluid you do drink as a way to try to prevent future dehydration.
