Is it possible/unhealthy to drink too much water?!


Question: I know that if I drink way too much water then I can die, but barring that, does drinking several gallons of water a day have any negative affects? I know that I don't need to drink that much water, but I get thirty often because I work out a lot. Any advice?

no it real good to drink alot water so you don't become dehydrated

Ive heard that the reason its bad to drink to much water is because it upsets the balance of chemicals in your liver or something like that, sorry I dont know more than that

If you are thirsty you need to drink. Enjoy

yes, if you drink more water than is in your body already, you can essentially drown yourself. the best way to find if you are drinking too much water is weigh yourself before you do exercise, and if you weigh more after, then you drank too much. for more info check out these websites:
