Too Much Water ???
I know everyone says drink plenty of water, and I try my best to drink as much as possible. But is there such a thing as too much water??? I mean, taking a piss every 30 mins is very annoying, but other then that, can it actually be harmful in any way at all? I just starting thinking that drinking one water bottle (500ml) per hour (within that hour) it's plenty enough for the day.
So let's say I do this for a 12 hour day, i'll be drinking 500ml X 12 hours which would turn out to be 6 litres. Is this any good???
Thnx

I always drink 6 litres of water a day when dieting, but any other time I include milk or juice to make up for about half of my liquid consumption.
The water helps flush out your kidney's and the more water you drink the less water you retain
But It's not mandatory that you drink 6L of water a day!

Drink as much as you feel comfortable with.If you are only drinking water during the day 6 litres really is not that much.
Your urine should be colourless and odourless as this is meant to mean your body is fully hydrated which is what we all want.Also remember when you are thirsty that is usally the first indication of de-hydration.
The peeing does stop as your body will get used to consuming that much fluid.

6 litres is 1.5 gallons. I would say that 1 gallon per day is absolute minimum. 2 gallons is probably closer to where you should be. Most serious lifters bring a bottle to the gym and drink about a gallon while training!! Flex Wheeler is known to have downed 6-8 gallons per day when leading up to a show. One thing to look for is this...your urine should always be clear (no color).

Its ok , we all pee all the time .... i drink 1 gallon a day around ...
i never find i can go 45 mins without peeing unless im asleep you actually can drink too much water and can be a strain on the kidneys or you can internally drown your self ... but alcohol has to included in the equation too.

Getting back to the drinking water issue. Drinking plenty of water in a day is definitely beneficial, but believe it or not, I have actually heard of people who drink water in order to get high. No Shit. I was watching 60 minutes or 20/20 or some damn show like that and there are actually people who purposely pollute themselves with gallons and gallons of water. Something to do with the oxygen content or some such thing. Anyway these people ended up with swollen bladders, prostate problems and all kinds of other things wrong with them. So now what? New anti water campaigns "Just say NO to H2O". To answer your question water is great but don't get nuts. Personally I don't think you’re in risk of these problems, because most people don't drink near enough. Just a little different angle!
