Answers:
I don't think drinking to much water can harm you, unless you drink to much water too much!. It's kind of a weird thing to toast to, is it not!? Typically people drink to much health or to much happiness!. Ah well, to each his own -- here's to you!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It's Not How Much You Drink, It's How Fast You Drink It!

The kidneys of a healthy adult can process fifteen liters of water a day! You are unlikely to suffer from water intoxication, even if you drink a lot of water, as long as you drink over time as opposed to intaking an enormous volume at one time!. As a general guideline, most adults need about three quarts of fluid each day!. Much of that water comes from food, so 8-12 eight ounce glasses a day is a common recommended intake!. You may need more water if the weather is very warm or very dry, if you are exercising, or if you are taking certain medications!. The bottom line is it's possible to drink too much water!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes you actually can!. infact recently there was a radio station that held a water drinking contest and a woman died from it a few hours after the show, of course your talking 1-2 gallons of water in an hour or so in this cause!.
