Can you drink too much water?!


Question: Can you drink too much water!?
I'm sure you can, but how much is too much!. I started trying to drink more water and am now up to about 100 oz per day without even trying!. I pee alot!. Is this ok!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
100oz is nothing, as far as risk of death is concerned!.

You'd have to drink several gallons of water each day to wash out enough electrolytes to risk your health!.

Feel free to drink as much water as you'd like!. You won't want to drink any more water far before it would actually become dangerous to do so!.

All the above assumes you're eating a decent diet!. If you're anorexic or bulemic or otherwise screwing yourself up dietarily, different rules may apply!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Unless you have a condition like bladder stones or urinary tract infection which require more water, the recommended water intake is to take your weight in lbs and divide by 2 to get the amount of oz of water to drink daily!. So if you weigh 200lbs, you're doing fine!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

I live in Panama CIty Beach and we have huge spring break events here!.!.!.!.!.!.
Anyway a local radio station held a gallon water chugging competition and one of the girls drank the whole gallon in a short amount of time and drowned herself to death!. It was a really big deal down here for awhile!.!.!.!.!.!.!.
