    Sip it and space it out during the day. Maybe have some of it as tea.

    Are you pounding it all at once, or are you drinking throughout the day. If you suddenly increased your water intake, your body wouldn't be used to it.

    seems like the only way this would happen is if you are drinking like 8 glasses all at once

    If you're drinking fast it's just the volume of water stretching out your stomach. It'll soon pass through but if you drink a little slower you shouldn't get any discomfort.

    You don't actually have to drink 8 glasses of water per day. That's a myth that started from a misinterpretation of a study that had been conducted to see how much liquid the average person typically got from food and beverage sources in the space of a day.

    That being said, there's nothing wrong with drinking lots of water, especially if it makes you feel full and replaces your urge to snack, or if you're replacing sugary sodas and such with water.

    Drinking too much too fast can make you feel bloated, sure. Slow down and pace yourself and you'll feel fine.
