Answers:
Yes, you can drink too much water!. In a healthy body, water and some very important electrolytes are in balance!. When you drink too much water, that balance shifts because the excess water flushes out those important electrolytes!. This imbalance becomes increasingly dangerous as more water is consumed!. In general, 6-8 glasses of water per day is good; if you're out running in the sun, you'll need more, but not "gallons" more!. also, if you feel like you're going to go heavy on the water, keep a bag of potato chips, or some salty snack, handy!. That will replace some of the salt you'll be flushing out!. Electrolyte drinks, like Gatorade, replenish electrolytes, but with lots of extra calories, so keep that in mind!. Therefore, drinking to much water can be dangerous!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yeah it's called water intoxication!.


Water intoxication (also known as hyperhydration or water poisoning) is a potentially fatal disturbance in brain function that results when the normal balance of electrolytes in the body is pushed outside of safe limits by water!.[1] Normal, healthy (both physically and nutritionally) individuals have little to worry about accidentally consuming too much water!. Nearly all deaths related to water intoxication in normal individuals have resulted either from water drinking contests, in which individuals attempt to consume more than 3 gallons of water over the course of just a few minutes, or long bouts of intensive exercise during which electrolytes are not properly replenished, yet massive amounts of fluid are still consumed!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

yeah you should drink 4-5 cups a day!.

8 glasses a day is bad

because that includes water found in all drinks and most foods
