    You can get something called hyponatremia with very quick very large intakes of water..I dont measure in gallons but this is about 4.5 litres which is double the recommended amount. If your exercising when drinking this amount thats great...sure its safe, bet yiur constantly on the loo!!

    1 cup = 8 fl oz.
    1 pint = 20 fl oz.
    So I'm logging 2 cups per pint !

    I have also heard a good way to judge how much water you should have is to drink half your weight in ounces per day

    That's a good reason to drink as the hormone which says your hungry is actually the same one which says your thirsty. If I feel peckish I go guzzle a pint of water..and no soda or fizzy stuff is great going..I had a bad experience with gallstones years back and my doc told me I was dehydrated!! But I never felt thirsty?? The pain was enough for me to have water now where ever I go..the health benefits are there so why not..keep it up I think we are all doing great on here on our own journey..im so pleased I came on here :D
