Guest guest Posted April 20, 2002 Report Share Posted April 20, 2002 I have a question this may be dumb question but i gotta sk anyway casue i always get hung up on things like this. Is it possible to drink TOO MUCH water? I drink on average about 2 gallons of fluids a day Almost al water but I drink about 4 cups of tea a day or so also! Is this bad? i mean I hear people alwaysharping on getting at least 8 glasses of water. My hubby laughs atmecasue i drink 8 cups of water withing 30 mintes f waking up. I've ALWAYS drank a lot al my life! when I was pregnant i would drin as much as 4 galons a day sometimes! seldom!usually 2 1/2 -3 when prego. :oP anyway just wondered if this was abad thing or a good thing?! If it is bad, any ideas on how to NOT be so thirsty?! I only drink whenI'm thirsty so it isn't like I'm heading for a goal intake or anyhting like that! thanks! marcia smech@uninets,net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 20, 2002 Report Share Posted April 20, 2002 I've read that your supposed to drink half your weight in ounces per day. So a person weighing 150 pounds should drink 75 ounces a day. Wish I could get myself to drink enough water. I have to make a conscious effort daily.

I think if they are saying a combination of " eating water " and dringking water than maybe ok But drink when you are thristy. Don't keep drinking when you feel you have had enough. but eating lots of water rich foods is the best way to get water.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2002 Report Share Posted April 22, 2002 This shouldn't be a problem. There is a rare problem, possibly a neurosis, where people will drink insane amounts of water. But that's much more than what you're doing. It is good to watch the tea. Black, green, oolong, and jasmine all have caffiene and tannic acid. These increase the body's need for water.
