    Hey all, sorry to post so often. Just wanted to point out something. With all this water drinking thing, it's great. We all need to drink more water. But I just wanted to let ya'll know, there is such a thing as water intoxication, where you drink too much water. Look at this site to check it out: http://chemistry.about.com/cs/5/f/blwaterintox.htm. Now, there is really not much chance of any of us drinking this much water, cause it takes a lot. But I just wanted to let ya'll know. People have died from this. And it's okay to drink 8-12 8oz. glasses in a day, and that is safe. So that's almost 100 oz. That's a lot of water and it's still safe. But I just wanted to make sure ya'll know about this. I'm taking a nutrition class right now and this was mentioned and it kinda was interesting. I had no idea you could get TOO MUCH water. I thought you could drink all the water you want. Anyhoo. Just so ya'll know. Please be safe and don't get "water logged."

    I'm really glad you posted this, and I wanted to add that too much water can also be harmful to your kidneys. It's been shown to cause loss of kidney function. As someone that has kidney problems, I can tell you it's definitely not something you want in your life. A good goal is 6-8 glasses of water. If you're sweating a lot, then maybe more, just use your best judgement.

    I'm so happy this Monday is almost over! It's just been one of those days...If I had a day like this a month ago, I would have shoved a chocolate bar down my gullet and then finished it off with a few cigarettes. Instead, I said "screw water!" and I had a diet coke with my dinner. Ha!

    I read this and started googling cup sizes. Then I walked in the breakroom to view the label on the bag of cups I use. I have been taking in almost double of what I thought I was. Thank you so much for bring this to my attention. I just wasn't even thinking. I knew the cup held more than 8oz I just didn't realize how much more.
