its definately true, but the amount greatly depends on your body type, because your cells become overwhelmed with all teh water becoming built up in your body that htey expand and burst, leading to death. i

Not sure how much but it killed a lady the other day so watch out. It's real.

My Dr told me to drink a gallon a day if possible, in the summer sinceit is warm climate
Is good also for winter that dries your skin.
It will help the onset of a sort throat or cold too
Drink Lots of WATER !!

never heard you could drink TOO much

It is basically a lot of liquid in a short amount of time. Somewhere around ten litres in minutes ought to do it. But normal people shouldn't worry about it, most cases occur in water-drinking contests.

it's how fast you drink it. Some lady guzzled a whole bunch of water to try and win concert tickets. She drank it so fast, it messed up her electrolytes in her body and she died.
