Too Much Water???

james_m_white · 05-06-2006, 07:07 PM

Okay, I think we all heard about the crazy "drink tons of water in a short period of time" frat boy initiation that got a kid killed. I'm not talking about that. In general, rather. I weigh 215 @ 5'8". I'm drinking 5-6 liters a day... Too much, not enough, just right? THX. (I searched the forums for this and didn't find this topic.)

That is a lot...but if you need it and you don't feel like you're about to do a "Leah Betts" then, well, go for your life.

You are such a fibber saying you searched and didn't find anything

I drink 1-1.5 gallons a day...and I don't weigh nearly as much as you. Space it out thru the day and you should be fine.

Whatev... I typed in "too much water" and got a bunch of unrelated crap. I did find some stuff buried in a thread asking about dehydration though (which isn't my problem). Thanks for the advice, though. Much appreciated. Word.

I drink about 2G's of liquid a day (about 1.75G's of that is Water).

Only side affect is pissing every 15 minutes..

I know. I saw the smiley (and you called me sensitive?). I just suck at conveying emotion over the internet.

Drinking a lot of water can be actually bad for you.

so what would be 'too much' for a 200 lb guy (6'1"). lately, ive been doing about 1.5 gallons... and although pissing every 15 minutes can suck, i feel really good. so guys, what is too much? like 2.5 + gallons? or something more reasonable like 2 gallons?
