Answers:
most of these people don't know what they're talking about!. Joe Coop does have a point but there are several dangers to drinking too much water!. Try to start keeping better count but don't freak out if you have 9 glasses!. If you have a little over the correct amount you may get a slight stomach ache but its nothing that won't go away in a few minutes!. It is true that by drinking too much water your brain will swell leading too lethargy, unconsciousness even a coma or death which is called water intoxication!. but you don't have to be afraid because it takes gallons of water over a short period of time!. Just be sure that if you ever feel like you've drank too much water use the restroom whenever you have to go!. a woman in Sacramento died because she was in a water drinking contest and never went to the bathroom!. they were supposed to drink 8oz bottles every 15 minutes! also many people die of water intoxication after taking ecstasy because it makes you thirsty! so don't do drugs! lol!.

8-12 glasses is reccommended, and if you drink anything caffeineated, you need to drink more!. You're meant to get AT LEAST 2 litres of water a day!. But yes you can get sick or in the really extreme die from drinking too much water!. But we're talking 6-12 litres of the stuff so going over the 8 glass a day rule is ok
