Too Much Water

Josh2040

If I am drinking on average 7-10 bottles of water a day is that to much?

I never think about drinking water, all I ever do is when i get thirsty I grab a bottle and drink it. I don't slam it but over the course of about 30 mins I will drink it. And that goes on all day. I am an engineer so I sit at a desk, so I'm not moving around to much.

I started drinking water instead of having a coke and I wounder if i drink to much water now.

2-3 gallons a day is great.

I drink 1-2 gallons a day. Just don't go and do like 5 gallons in a hour.

I think that depends on hwo much you weigh etc and how much water is in each bottle?! I do know that you can drink to much though.

too much of anything can be bad. My doctor told me you can flush your system too much..taking vital minerals and vitamins etc...but ten 0.5ltre bottles aint too bad.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_intoxication#Prevention


"Healthy kidneys are able to excrete approximately 1 litre of fluid water (0.26 gallons) per hour. However, stress (from prolonged physical exertion), as well as disease states, can greatly reduce this amount."


It's extremely difficult to do any damage from drinking too much, you'll know if you need to cut back on water.

OK so it seems like the 10 or so .5 liter bottle I drink pretty much every day is not to bad then Thanks everyone.
