Is drinking 1.5 liters of water an hour too much water? This is every day, exercising or not. Please and thank you for posting.

    A liter and a half of water isn't too much water.


    Maybe tmi below?

    What does your urine look like? Too dark can mean dehydration and clear like water may mean you are over doing it. You'd want a straw like color.

    Edit: I thought the op was drinking this over the course of a day, not in one hour.

    If your urine is light green you may want to seek out your physicians advice.

    Are you drinking that much water because you are thirsty? You need to get tested for diabetes (excessive thirst is a common symptom).
