Will sodium cause me to retain water even if...

I drink a lot of water? I had 3000mg sodium today, and 15 cups of water... Does the high water intake sort of balance out the sodium?

It helps, but doesn't negate it. :-)

Your best bet is to keep your sodium low. Trying to flush it out with extra water can help a little bit, but it can also flush out important (other) electrolytes, vitamins and minerals.
