Two Concerns: Water Intake and mixing creatine with whey
Two Concerns I've never really spent a lot of time on and would like some thoughts or even articles would be extremely helpful.
(A) Firstly, does it matter whether I take Creatine and Whey protein individually postworkout or mixed together postworkout ? I know it makes no difference which order you take them in individually but is there a difference in taking them individually vs mixing the two powders together ? Probably a stupid/naive question but something I never considered.
(B) Can you drink TOO much water ? If I were to graph my water intake it would indefinitely be linear. I started at 4L/water day (The equivalent of a bottle of water at each meal plus 1L between working out + protein shake). And now Ive found I'm up to 8L water/day without even really noticing. Some days I drink upwards of 10-12L and don't even realize. Is this a problem ? I'm not dehydrated or feel the need to quench my thirst I just like water I guess.

Yes, you infact can flounder from drinking too much, this is due to dilution of electrolytes such as sodium and more importantly potassium, which regulate autorhythmicity of cardiac cells(heart beats), which in turn can cause tachycardia and death. That being said, these effects would be apparent very quickly and would also be exacerbated by exercise so you would have noticed by now. If you are worried then you could get some thermotabs at a pharmacy(they are behind the counter but don't require a prescription), they are cheap and just contain electrolytes. To be honest, if you are using a multivitamin and consuming a diverse diet contain fruits you should be fine.
