For some reason today only i have been drinking a lot of water... I usually drink  an average of 8 glasses of water a day anyway, but today is different. It is not a hot day either. Anyone got any answers?

with my experience If I drink allot of water I start to crave MORE watter the next day. BUT needing to drink allot of water is a sign of Diabetes so if it continues I would go to a doc and check it out. :)

Some research suggests 8-10 cups of water might be overdoing it; I say keep it simple and drink as much as you're thirsty to drink.\n\nOther than that, that's a solid plan.

Simplest, easiest and cheapest way;\n\nDrink plain water at least 8 glasses a day!\nAnd i do eat an organic health food.\n\nRead this;\nhttp://healthydiettips.blogspot.com/2006/10/tips-9-more-about-water-miracle.html\nhttp://healthydiettips.blogspot.com/2006/09/tips-5-power-of-plain-water.html

If you're not dying of thirst all the time and this rarely happens I wouldn't worry, I bet you'll be fine... If it gets worse and you notice it all the time and during the day then maybe you should take further measures to have it checked out..

Most people urinate about 4-6 times a day, so that's pretty normal.\n\nAs always, do be sure to drink plenty of water (not soda) - you should be gettting 8-10 glasses every day. The color of your pee is a good indication if you should be getting more water. If it is dark yellow, you are mildly dehydrated and should be drinking more.

That's good to drink water, but what you eat and how much is more important. The calories eaten must be less than the calories burned through daily activities and exercise.

No. You should have 6-8 to keep properly hydrated. One is not nearly enough. I jazz my water up with lemon, or limes and ice and a straw..goes down easier that way. Also try seltzer water, sometimes the bubbles help make it feel more like soda.\n\nkeep/get drinking

It could mean you have been drinking more than you usually do.\n\nIt could also mean that you have a bladder infection.  It does not always have to burn when  you pee to have one.\n\nIf it continues then you should talk to your parents (if you are young) or your doctor to run a test to see if you do have an infection.\n\ngood luck!

Normally, if you drink something that is not 100% water you wouldnt count it because the ingredients will affect your metabolic system by altering your hydration/dehydration levels.  On top of that you are presurring your kidneys into more work when water just helps them.  Unless its water, dont count it.

That sounds incredibly ropy, the water will combine with other contents of your stocmach. the second that occurs, one thing the water isn't, is pure!!\n\nIt is true that drinking *any* reasonably clean water to great excess can cause problems because you start removing salts from your body when you urinate.\n\nLosing electrolyte due to drinking gallons of water in a short space of time (can easily be fatal) is totally different than blaming it on the water being "too pure".\n\nI think I would counter your lab workers comments by asking them how many seconds they feel it takes the water to reach your stomach. Then after they ave said "ooh, about 1 perhaps", then ask them if the water would still be pure - swimming around with dil Hcl and the remains of the mornings breakfast.\n\nThen remind them of the ultra-pure water leaching out the "nutrients".\n\nNutrients?   And where would these leached nutrients "go" ?  Would they be filtered out by the kidneys (retained) ?\n\nLOL I am going to have to stop now or I could write for ages on this and I really need to do a little more work!

Depends.... My mom drank to much water and to make a long story short right now she can't walk.. The solution is to not only drink water, remember water flushes out yr body so make sure u r getting all the vitamins u need at the same time. don't over do it, 8 glasses of water a day is fine (8ounces per glass)

Dear Mike,\n\nThis does not sound like a pleasant situation you are in.\n\nI am not a doctor, but if this were happening to me, I would think there is something going on with my digestion.\n\nA gallon of water per day is a lot. It is possible to overwhelm your kidneys if you are not urinating enough.\n\nYou didn't say anything about your emotional state nor your life circumstances, so there may be some clues there.\n\nAsk friends and others to recommend a physician whom they trust.  I think you need to get with a professional who takes a wholistic approach to health, and get back to health.  You are too young to throw in the towel.\n\nHope this helps.

8 to 10 glasses of water a day. Roughly 1/2 gallon

You are correct about the average metabolism rate for healthy persons during average activity. The consumption you mention does not include other liquids which would be a factor contributing to mild dehydration during a prolonged drinking period possibly causing headache or muscle fatigue..(short term)\n\nChronic use at the rate you describe can lead to addiction to alcohol.

If you drink too much water, your body will retain some of it. You'll also be putting water pressure on your internal organs that's not good. ALSO, you can cause yourself kidney failure but the water has to be in a MAJOR excess for that, like 5-6 gallons a day. Best way to judge water intake... if you're thirsty... drink some water. If you're hungry... drink some water... many times thirst comes through as hunger pangs and people eat food their body doesn't need.

I don't think there is such a thing, although a good rule of thumb is to take your body weight in pounds and divide in half.  The number you get is the amount of ounces you should drink each day for proper hydration.  \n\nYou should also drink additional water = to the amount of any alcohol you drink in a day (if you have a 4 oz glas drink and extra 4 oz of water before you go to bed).\n\nThe only precaution I have ever heard about too much water is that you don't want to water down your digestive enzymes (needed to breakdown food) so you shouldn't have water with meals - drink juice or something that will keep the enzymes going.
