Topic: Drinking alot of water?

Depends on the span of time you drink it over.

@Roops: if he's drinking that much water all in one go, yeah, it's a problem. over the course of an entire day, though, not so much. they recommend you drink a gallon of water a day anyway, lol :3

I guess frequent sprints to the Hall of Fame would burn some calories.

Someone should invent powdered water, so you can keep it in a box in the cupboard.

Instant Water
Just add... oh.

@Roopa123
haha, I'm pretty sure you'd have to drink A LOT more than anyone here--and in a much shorter time--for it to cause any sort of health issues.

Actually the human body is more like 60 to 70% water, it is pretty similar to the planet we live on which is covered in 70% water.

I DECLARE THIS TO BE GENIUS

hahahaha, that is amazing Raylax.

thumbs up Raylax

I drink out of one's like these:

I thought that's only if you drink like 3 bottles in 1 hour and didn't go to the bathroom?

That's crazytalk. I sometimes drink 3 or 4 bottles back to back. Now, holding it all in is a different story. That's dangerous, but refusing to go to the bathroom has nothing to do with drinking water.

I've never been to a bathroom in my life, and look how I turned out. What's the big deal?

Thats a pretty cool looking water bottle

I'm not exactly sure how much water you have to drink in what amount of time to die of water intoxication, but the a.s.h. suicide methods mentioned drinking 14 L in 12 hours. When I was a kid at summer camp, these guys told my counselors they'd give our group a bag of licorice if they could drink 10 L of water between the 2 of them in half an hour and they did it, so they must have each had about 5 L in that time. They said they didn't feel very well after that, but nothing bad happened -- probably also helped that we had just come back from an outtrip and they were a bit dehydrated anyway.

i drink buttloads of gatorade and i try to drink a lot of water

I don't drink like 30 a day. To die from water intoxication is if I drank like 35 bottles and held all my piss in haha

Health benefits and un-benefits completely depend on the person. How much you should have depends on you and the day. If you're sweating a lot, you need more water to replace what you lost. A bit of salt doesn't hurt when you sweat a lot either, but two gatorades a day is more salt you need in a day most of the time. More salt isn't very good for you. Drinking a lot for "benefits" doesn't really help, just whenever you get a drink, have water instead of juice (full of sugar) or pop, etc.

I have days where I feel really thirsty, it's not uncommon.
