Is it ok to drink this much water?!


Question: Is it ok to drink this much water.?
Ok so I heard that the amount of oz of water you need is half your weight. I weight 150 lbs so that would be 75 oz. But on most days I drink for breakfast a 20 oz bottle of water with a crystal lite in it. The for the rest of the day I have 4 more 20 oz bottles of plain water. so thats 100 oz of water if you add the one with crystal lite. or would that be considered like having juice.? Is this too much.? Or ok.? I heard you can die from drinking too much water, but how much is too much.? I get so thirsty througout the day so tahts why I drink so much. ?Health Question & Answer

you can actually die from drinking too much water. sadly, there is a pyschological disorder where a person thinks that they must always be drinking water and people who drink this much water, it causes their red blood cells to fill with water and burst. But anyways...drinking 100 oz is fine. the more water you drink, the healthier your body is. just don't over do it or you could have some problems.Health Question & Answer

i think you are fine... i drink near a gallon a day, however, if you start to get a headache or anything, STOP! because the cells in your body can only hold soo much water, and you would start to fill it in your head. but you seem fine! but you can die from drinking too much water at one time! its called drowning. lol, no but you really can, here is an article. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_intox...Health Question & Answer

Sorry if this is awkward but as long as you're peeing out a lot, then it's safe. It's only dangerous to drink water a la a gallon challenge because the amount of water in your system will cause your cells to burst before it has a chance to flush it out through urinating!!!Health Question & Answer

I dont think you can drink too much water, as long as you pee it out at some point

100 ozs of water per day is probably OK. That is not quite 3 litres (105 ozs). Too much would probably be a bit more than 100 ozs per day. Too much water will also flush out some good nutrients as well as toxins so you must not overdo it. Perhaps to be on the safe side you could reduce it to 70 ozs a day (2 litres). If you live in a very hot climate where you perspire a lot then, of course, 3 litres a day or more might even be desirable.

The 20 oz bottle you have for breakfast is OK as long as that is all you have. If you have it in addition to a normal breakfast it will dilute your digestive juices and that is no good for your digestion. Water should normally be consumed in between meals or perhaps just before a meal but never during or straight after a meal.

Crystal Lite contains artificial sweeteners and you are better off without it as artificial sweeteners such as Aspartame or Splenda are even worse than table sugar (sucrose) and that is very bad for you.
