Is It Bad To Drink a Gallon Of Water A Day? ?!

Like another answerer noted, it could cause a problem because you're flushing out things your body needs like potassium, sodium, etc causing a condition called hyponatremia!. One gallon over the course of a day is NOT too much at all! It's recommended to drink at LEAST 8-12 glasses a day!.!.!. 16 cups (1 gallon) is not a big deal! Two gallons though, may be pushing it!.!.!. but it's not deadly!.

I've read studies saying that you'd need to drink an entire 5 gallon cooler in a short period of time to cause damage!. 2 is pushing it IMO, but studies may show differently!. 1 gallon is perfectly healthy though!. I would never say "don't do it"!.!.!. that's silly!.

I believe healthy adults can process 15 liters a day of water- just space it out!.

Yes, one gallon is probably to much unless you work in a very hot environment!. Then you need electrolytes with the water, like gatoraide!. Two Gallons would most certainly be dangerous!. It causes you to flush to much electrolytes out especially sodium an potassium which can cause you heart to become irregular or just stop!. Don't do it!. The first symptoms you will notice will be muscle cramps, light headedness, and fatigue, after that it starts to become serious!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
