I love to drink. Normally I drink 15 glasses of water, 2 glasses of green tea, 1 big glass of strawberry smoothie in the morning, 1 glass red wine every night. Is it good to drink too much? Because i've something about overhydrated, but I don't understand.

Yes you can drink to much and drown your brain, destroy your kidneys [overwork] and ultimately flush out all the nutrients from your body that you effectual require to be a healthy person. Cut down gradually not in one go as I had funny things happen to me as I wasn't told to cut down gradually.

Lots of cranberry juice. You should drink about 4 glasses a day, or if you can't tolerate the juice you can take cranberry capsules.\n\n Tried and true remedy.\n\n Hope you feel better soon.

Why do you gulp it? Are you like my friend that never drinks water? The dr told her to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day,\nso that 's what she does. She drinks the entire glass w/o stopping. You should sip the water, or at least don't gulp it down.\nIf you don't like drinking water, put a few drops of lemon juice in it. It isn't enough to really taste, but some find it easier to drink.\nI would talk to the dr about your dizziness.

i have never heard of a condition like that. However they say deyhdrated people some times confuse the need to drink something with the need to eat something. so my suggestion is to drink water everyday even if you dont think you are thirsty to keep yourself hydrated which is imporant to stay healthy.

I belive wine is perfectly fine.  If Jesus turned water into wine, it must be OK.  If it was a sin to drink wine, why would he have purposely provided it.  The distinction comes about when you compare consuming alcohol to drunkeness.  The Bible clearly condemns drunks (drinking in excess).  Therefore it is not a sin, until you have drank too much I would assume.  But I guess only you and God know when you have had too much.

That is true what she said about the caffiene, alcohol is the same way , but other sources of water do count as water. Soup, Watermelon, Jello, popsicles, milk, ect. are all water based and don't have caffiene, there for can be counted toward your daily fluid intake. However, you may need more or less than 8 glasses of water a day depending on your height and weight. 8 is just an average that most people can try for. Check this website for the formula to use for calculating how much water you need daily. It says 8-8oz glasses of water for a 125lb person, 11-8oz glasses for a 175lb person.

It could be that you are getting dehydrated.  You need to make sure that you are getting enough WATER every day.  Start with 4-6 glasses a day and slowly work yourself up to 7-8.  It will take a while to get used to.

I drink like  a fish too. Was shocked to see results of a general blood test.\n\nNever actually believed in alternative medicine, but decided to try "Liv 52".  Friggin thing works!  I pop a Liv 52DS every single day from the past 2 years.  \n\nIt also helps to pop a "PartySmart" capsule (made by the same pharma: http://www.himalayahealthcare.com/) about half an hr before a binge.\n\nOne year later, my liver fn test is more or less normal - I haven't cut down on the booze ;-)

I drank quite a bit when I was in college. Three things have occurred which have caused me to stop drinking alcoholic beverages altogether.\n\n1. My wife and I used to have ONE cocktail before dinner every night, usually just when I got home from work. After a period of time, we increased it to two so we could get the same buzz that one used to. When it reached three, we realized what was happening, and we stopped having a drink or two or three before dinner. That was 38 years ago!!\n\n2. A good friend of mine was killed by a drunken driver. That soured me on drinking. I have no tolerance of drunk drivers and think they should be jailed!!\n\n3. About 6 years ago I was diagnosed with diabetes. The medications I take are dangerous if one is drinking alcoholic beverages. So, I don't drink!\n\nIt has played a negative role in my life and has NO place  in my future.

You go girl....you tell them... Actually 6 small meals a day is okay... dont starve yourself, thats even worse...drinking coffee is not bad for you and if it helps with the cravings go for it... good luck...\n\nif your worried about me giving this lady bad advice, please read my other answer. I do agree with the water... and it is a diuretic... but if its helping with her eating habits than it may just work for her... like she said its better than stuffing her face with cupcakes...\n\njust like smoking...nicorette isnt good for you, but if it helps cut the craving then its obviously doing something right. what may work for one person may not work for another...

In a word:  NO\n\nI think your friend's story of a man having an accident the day after he stopped drinking is pure coincidence.  Alcoholic problems are usually described in the sense when drinking effects (poorly) other areas of your life.  So if you are talking about drinking in excess before you go to sleep and likely suffering a hang over or having not enough real sleep, it will likely make it very difficult to perform your job the next day.  \n\nStudies have shown that drinking a glass of wine a day keeps the doctor away.

No it is not bad. In fact a grown up male should take a minimum of 3 litres of water or other fluids per day. It can be more than this but not less. read -\n\nHow much water do you need?\nEvery day you lose water through your breath, perspiration, urine and bowel movements. For your body to function properly, you must replenish its water supply by consuming beverages and foods that contain water.\n\nA couple of approaches attempt to approximate water needs for the average, healthy adult living in a temperate climate.\n\nReplacement approach. The average urine output for adults is 1.5 liters a day. You lose close to an additional liter of water a day through breathing, sweating and bowel movements. Food usually accounts for 20 percent of your total fluid intake, so if you consume 2 liters of water or other beverages a day (a little more than 8 cups) along with your normal diet, you will typically replace the lost fluids. \nDietary recommendations. The Institute of Medicine advises that men consume roughly 3.0 liters (about 13 cups) of total beverages a day and women consume 2.2 liters (about 9 cups) of total beverages a day-.

Try plain green tea, you should drink at least about 5 to ten cups a day of it, make a pot for the whole day. Drink the green tea as a replacement of the other drinks you normally consume during the day.I do it often and it cleanses the body. It doesn't work like a miracle in one day. But if you keep it up you'll see it really works.Good luck

i don't think you have anything to worry about.  Too much of anything is dangerous, one guy killed himself by drinking too much water and not going to the bathroom.  Basically, to drink too much green tea to hurt you, you would probably have to drink it all day every day for a while without going to the bathroom.

Yes, you should count coffee and black tea - as a minus!!\n\nReason: They are dehydrating.\n\nAs a doctor told me, our body is actually not built to get calories/energy with liquid, except as a child, so better drink as little beer or fruit juice as possible. Both contain more energy than milk and can make you fat as well...\n\nSo the best is to stick to water to get your liquid intake recommended.
