A friend was noticing how much water I drink [8 16 oz. bottles a day] and told me that i should only have half of that, because I could be flooding my intestines or something.
Haha, that sounded kinda weird to me so i thought i would ask you guys since your all so smart. :wink:

    It is true that you can have too much water, but if you are drinking because you are thirsty then drink. You will know if you have had too much water, basically your body starts shutting down. I would not be too worried about it. I drink 120+ ounces of water a day.......

    Some recommend as much as an ounce of water per pound of body weight.

    So yeah, hit that ignore button. :tongue:

    it is possible to overdo it. My husband was drinking eight 44oz glasses, and his joints all swelled up and he was in so much pain. he went to Dr. and they said- maximum 1 oz per lb of body weight plus extra during exercise if you are breaking a sweat.

    Alright, that makes sense.
    I guess you can have too much of a good thing. :brokenheart:

    that is a good question, I have wondered that myself. I don't really keep track but water is about the only thing I drink.

    Thanks for the info
