a normal person should not drink more than 3 liter a day!. i say normal person because for example if you have diabetes you drink more, i know from my brother he can finish a gallon in couple hours because of high blood sugar!.
normally if you drink too much water blood may come with urine, because water will be too much for your kidneysss, or if you remember from news i think it was last year a woman died on the radio show, because she did drink tooooooooooooo much water!.
things have a limit, it is better not to exceed!.
