too much water?

bamagary

Does anyone know how much is too much water? I know that drinking to much isn't healthy, hence the deaths in those stupid water drinking contests. But how much is too much? For example, I drink approximately 96-112 oz at work everyday, at least 48 oz at the gym, and Lord knows how much when i get home. Not to mention, the 12 oz diet mt. dew, 1 cup of coffee, I have everyday.

Before anyone mentions it, I don't have high blood sugar, and I'm not thirsty all the time, I've just always drank a lot of water. Any advice would be appreciated.

Note* I tried googling this question and I can't come up with anything, I stink at the internet Thanks for any tips.

It's not how much water you drink, it's how fast you drink it. Here's a link I found.

Large amounts of water is only bad/dangerous if you drink it all in a short period of time. If your spreading it all out through the day, you should be fine. Water is GOOD for you

this is one of those topics where every so called expert says differently. along with so many other health questions. i say if you feel fine then do what u been doing.

I drink 110-160 oz. I workout and sweat AND drink caffeine which is a diuretic and causes me to pee more so I need more water. I have always drank that much and I am fine. Doctor says the healthiest I've ever been.

those drinking contests are things like 2 litres in 1/2 hour. Lots of water over the course of the day is just fine.
