Do I Drink Too Much Water?!


Question:

Do I Drink Too Much Water?

I drink A water bottle every hour, sometimes 2 every hour. It makes me urinate A lot and its always clear, except in the morning.

Sometimes I get Dizzy for no reason and feel faint, and im thinking it could be "Water Intoxication", because sometimes I even drink a lot of water without even eating much.

I think I drink so much because of anxiety. Water is like "Xanax" to me, but I think im over doing it and don't want water intoxication. What do you think?

*Also, how much water should one drink in a day? If anyone knows how much in one time that would be great, and not just how much in one day.*


Answers:

whoa! thats way too much water. the recommended amount is about 8-10 cups of water a day and im guessing you drink about 15-17 cups? drinking this much water is actually pretty dangerous for your health as it flushes out the salts, minerals your body needs (like salt and potassium)

try:

water intoxication is most likely to occur in intense sports.
