Hey guys,

For some reason today out of all days I've been super thirsty so from 8am till now (1:45pm) I've drank almost 4L of water. My coworker is nagging at me and telling me I'm going to drawn LOL but since I haven't had one of these days like ever :happy: my question is aside from possibly having to sleep on the toilet tonight am I really at risk here, considering I will drinking a lot more water before the end of the day?

Thanks in advance for your help...

Aida

    Drinking too much water is only a risk when you consume too much at one time.

    Did you have a lot of sodium in your eating yesterday?

    If you're thirsty - drink it up! There are much worse things you could be choosing than 4L of water, that's for sure!

    I know the feeling... I'm 3L in so far today, and have been to the bathroom like 6 times.

    i drink a couple gallons a day. hyponatremia would be your only real concern but it would take a lot more than consuming 4L of water a day to go into serious sodium deficiency.

    As long as you stop drinking it a couple hours before bed you will be fine:smile:

    Not to freak you out but if it continues, you may want to talk to your doctor as being really thirsty can be a symptom of diabetes....I'm sure it's not but just to be on the safe side :smile:
