3-4 litres in one hour could lead to water toxicity. Otherwise you should be good. You might want to look into trace minerals as an additive. A few drops once in a while is good. Too much plain water leaches the minerals (this is disputed) out of your system so it helps to add them in.



Personally, I drink about 4 - 5 liters a day. I am diabetic, in very good control w/diet only, but diabetes affects every cell of your body, and the kidneys suffer, so I maintain a flushed out system by drinking this much water. I find that I have no ill effects from drinking this much water. I do, however, drink distilled water, the cleanest you can get in the bottle.



>That standard is 1/2 gallon (or eight - 8 fluid oz glasses). A US gallon has about 4 liters in it, so drinking 2 liters is pretty much standard. Drinking excess water (as long as you are not drowning yourself!) isn't a problem except for bloating...the fact you will have to urinate more often...it may also deplete your body of water soluble vitamins and minerals, so taking a one a day vitamin tab probably is a smart thing to do also.



It IS possible to over-consume water, 5 or 6 litres is excessive and you may experience water weight gain and adversely affect your organs over time.

When drinking water you should, as with fruit juice, sip it slowly. There are people who have died from drinking too much water too fast.

Be good to yourself



well i know a woman who drank about 5 liters a day and i was told it put her in the ICU something like it diluted her blood like thinned it out but she drank 5 liters a day for years got the better of her she didn't die i dont think but got a blood transfusion

it was in the newspaper i think but it happened



Drinking more water will not harm our body. we people who have kidney problem can't drink more water, not even ltr a day because it will store water in kidney part, which is dangerous...For helathy people, they can drink water frequently...



We'll thats just normal but exceeding at anything can be poisonous for your body!
