    Assuming they're shot glasses, I can't see what everyone is worried about.

    If you chug water like that, not only will you feel ill but it defeats the purpose. Drinking water that fast doesn't allow the body to properly process it. You'll be peeing constantly and may even have diarhea and then you'll still be dehydrated by the end of the day.

    Instead drink flavored water, decaffeinated coffee or tea (no sugar added), or even add some lemon or lime or other things. I hate our tap water at home and I don't like diet drinks made as directed either (like Crystal Light) so I fix that by mixing the two. To every 2 cups of water I add about 1/4 cup of the drink mix and it's perfect - just enough flavor to make the water palatable but not too sweet or fruity.

    Drinking that much at once will at the least make your kidneys work harder, because you'll just pee more.

    Learn to like water. I easily drink 3-4 liters a day, maybe 5. But I love water.

    I have to disagree with everyone saying to use those Mio or other flavored drops...come on people. Read the labels. Don't put that crap in your water. Use fresh lemons or limes if you must. Drink it iced, sometimes that makes it easier.

    But remember. Your body is mostly water. You have to drink water to be healthy. The more water you drink, the less bloated you will be, your digestion will be regular, and you'll feel better. Your hair and nails will be healthier. Just deal with it, and drink it.

    I say pick a day and drink all of your water for the month. But I am uber-efficient like that.

    I personally think some made a big deal out of water intake, if you don't drink it at all then yes maybe a problem. I think 8 glass a day (preferably not all at once) is way good enough,unless you are working hard enough to break a sweat,then if course you need to keep hydrated . But 12,16 glass a day for the normal activity. bah- hum -bug !! I say!!!
