Can u drink too much water and if so, how much is too much?
Answers:
When you are thirsty or dehydrated you should drink water only a little bit at a time untill you feel that you have quenched your thirst. Most health professionals reccomend that you drink 8 glasses (8 oz.) per day ,this helps to keep your inside organs clean.
