Till you can drown yourself? lol

So hot here have already had my two litres and it is only 12.00pm....

I usually managed 3 except for the weekends which are really tough as so out of routine!

How much have you had today?

    I drink 100-125 oz a day. As long as you don't drink it all at once you'll be OK.

    I just woke up about half an hour ago. I felt so dehydrated that I've already drank a liter.

    And good for you. We all know how healthy it is. :)

    I'm usually close to a gallon by the end of the day if I work out, not quite that much on my off day.

    The post I made the other day about losing body fat if you follow the link it has a calculator based on weight on how much you should drink. Mine came up to 1.14 gallons or 4.5 liters per day. It was quite shocking.

    An article about water intoxication. It's not putting me off drinking 3 litres per day though, especially in the middle of a heat wave!

    I believe a healthy kidney can excrete 15 liters of water over a period of a day. So thats like 1 liter about every 2 hours. I wouldn't exceed that amount in 2 hours..

    Thats why water intoxication is most common extreme athletes who are sweating and chugging water. Oh yes and those infamous water drinking contests that never lead to good things!!

    Like they always say too much of ANYTHING is not a good thing. :)
