Question about water???

How much water to have to drink and in how short an amount of time do you have to drink it before it actually kills you?


Answers:
8 liters??? well, i've always thought it was minimum 8 CUPS of water a day...

you aren't planning to kill youself with water overdose, are you??? i believe some people absorb and get rid of water better than others, but generally i believe in moderation and just drinking minimum 8 cups of water in a day--spread it evenly throughout the day :D

drink water especially when you feel like drinking something, when your lips, mouth, or throat is dry, after a good workout, OR when you're feeling thirsty. and this a rule of thumb--for every cup of caffeinated tea, drink 2 cups of water. for every cup of coffee, drink 4 cups of water :) that's about it... just don't have to drink 4 cups at one time--i only manage maximum 2 cups at one time...

We should drink about 8 litres of water per day. If you drink that whole amount of water at a time, you will absolutely die. So two and half litres morning, two and half litrs afternoon, and remaining in remaining time.

Several cups. I know at least a gallon.

Despite it being called water poisoning, its not that the water miraculously becomes poisinous due to overdose. The danger is that your body cannot efficiently process the water normally. Instead, the bodies cells actually swell and explode.

8 liters per day but there was a new study that we don't even need that and the amount is made up from bottled water companies. But i heard of this man in the military he drank about 2 gallons in 30 mintues and died... either that or one... i drank half a bottle of cranberry juice in about 1 mintue so just imagine. 2 gallons eh...

I read about two guys who had a water-drinking contest - they drank 7 gallons each in 10 minutes and got so sick (i.e. vomiting severely) that they had to go to hospital.
