Question:

Is drinking a gallon of water a day to much?

i usually have 8 bottles that are 20Oz each so is a gallon to much???


Answers:
1.5 liters is the recommended amount. You could be stressing your kidneys with that much water--unless you're very active and sweating a lot.

nahh i dont think it would be as long as you go pee alot

As long as you sweat it out or pee it out you should be fine.

nope. and if you are physically active such as a bodybuilder, athlete, or simply exercising then you need much more than that. the average person needs a gallon or 8 glasses a day in order to maintain healthy body functions. so keep up the good work and drink up!

if u r active person it's normal but normally it's a pretty much for a normal unactive men

No, as long as you are getting proper nutrients, otherwise you could be deplete your body's electrolytes, which can even lead to dizzyness, fatigue, confusion, and loss of motor control (runners have to be careful of this.

Also, you can become "water drunk" if you consume too much water and you will die. This would take more than a gallon. A friend of mine drinks at least 2 gallons of water a day, but he also takes vitamins. The risk is that the water cleans nutrients from your body.

no as long and you pe and are on the go

Not if you feel ok on it.

do your balls hurt?

thats goood for you!

No
I work outside and sometimes consume upto 5 litres of water when the temp is in the 30's.

It's usually 8-8oz glasses of water a day

not unless your getting tired of hitting the john every five minutes
