    I routinely drink 3 liters ( 3000 cc ) a day. I also have 1 cup of offee ( or three ) in the morning.

    As long as you are not drinking so much that you overhydrate yourself and get dizzy / sick to your stomach, water is a VERY good thing.

    I was just wondering the same thing, and about to post this topic, i'm in the same boat, except I usually drink 3-4 coffees a morning then some more at night when I have to study because otherwise I'll fall asleep, but it's always black coffee. So is there any such thing as too much water, or coffee for that matter?

    Yes, there is such a thing as too much water. Have you ever heard of water intoxication (or water poisoning) ? But that only happens if you chug large quantities of water in a short time frame. I drink from 1.5-2 gallons per day and that isn't too much. So if you spread your water out through out your day, you should be fine.
