What's your feeling on water-- do you think it's possible to drink too much?
I drink A TON of water... I try to drink a lot for health/diet reasons, and also-- I am just plain thirsty.
Do you think it's possible to drink too much?
I probably drink about 4 to 5 liters a day on average. I just keep filling up the big bottles.
ETA-- I don't drink anything else-- except for maybe tea.

Most definitely! Too much water can throw off your balance of electrolytes and cause major problems.
I drink about 2 liters of water a day. I have found the more I drink the more thirsty I am and that is why I find myself drinking more.
4-5 liters seems a bit excessive but then again I don't know what your day is like and you may exert yourself more and need more water.

That is a lot of water. I used to drink that much and I almost fainted one day in the shower. I talked to my doctor about it and he said that I should switch to water with electrolytes because I am probably flushing them out. I've slowed down to 1-2 liters of water a day since.

Re: What's your feeling on water-- do you think it's possible to drink too much?
I had heard somewhere-- you should have like 3 liters a day... Like 3 big bottles thoughout the day.
Now, when I factor in working out, and sitting at my desk and drinking water all day-- I feel like I sometimes go over that. I also need to have a glass of water by my bed every night.
Also when I eat-- I tend to drink a lot as well.

You can most definitely overdo it with the water.
Once I fainted...dr said that my water drinking could have a lot to do with it.
I eat very little sodium and whatever my body does have I was flushing it out, causing low blood pressure.

Wow I am the total opposite!! It's considered a good day when I drink 20 oz a day, I'm just never thirsty!
The only other thing I drink through out the day is coffee (about 2 cups at work)

Excessive thirst could be a sign of a health problem. Have you had a thorough physical recently with blood and urine tests?
