Yes it is possible to drink too much water. But 4 - 5 liters shouldn't be too much. If you drink too much you could get a disease called... daaah i forget let me lookit up. LoL.\n\nOk\n\nCan You Really Drink Too Much Water?\n\nIn a word, yes. Drinking too much water can lead to a condition known as water intoxication and to a related problem resulting from the dilution of sodium in the body, hyponatremia. Water intoxication is most commonly seen in infants under six months of age and sometimes in athletes. A baby can get water intoxication as a result of drinking several bottles of water a day or from drinking infant formula that has been diluted too much. Athletes can also suffer from water intoxication. Athletes sweat heavily, losing both water and electrolytes. Water intoxication and hyponatremia result when a dehydrated person drinks too much water without the accompanying electrolytes. \n\nWhat Happens During Water Intoxication?\n\nWhen too much water enters the body's cells, the tissues swell with the excess fluid. Your cells maintain a specific concentration gradient, so excess water outside the cells (the serum) draws sodium from within the cells out into the serum in an attempt to re-establish the necessary concentration. As more water accumulates, the serum sodium concentration drops -- a condition known as hyponatremia. The other way cells try to regain the electrolyte balance is for water outside the cells to rush into the cells via osmosis. The movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from higher to lower concentration is called osmosis. Although electrolytes are more concentrated inside the cells than outside, the water outside the cells is 'more concentrated' or 'less dilute' since it contains fewer electrolytes. Both electrolytes and water move across the cell membrane in an effort to balance concentration. Theoretically, cells could swell to the point of bursting. \n\nFrom the cell's point of view, water intoxication produces the same effects as would result from drowning in fresh water. Electrolyte imbalance and tissue swelling can cause an irregular heartbeat, allow fluid to enter the lungs, and may cause fluttering eyelids. Swelling puts pressure on the brain and nerves, which can cause behaviors resembling alcohol intoxication. Swelling of brain tissues can cause seizures, coma and ultimately death unless water intake is restricted and a hypertonic saline (salt) solution is administered. If treatment is given before tissue swelling causes too much cellular damage, then a complete recovery can be expected within a few days.

The Chinese have known about the medicinal benefits of green tea since ancient times, using it to treat everything from headaches to depression. Here are just a few medical conditions in which drinking green tea is reputed to be helpful\ncancer\nrheumatoid arthritis\nhigh cholesterol levels\ncariovascular disease\ninfection\nimpaired immune function\nThe secret of green tea lies in the fact it is rich in catechin polyphenols, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). EGCG is a powerful anti-oxidant: besides inhibiting the growth of cancer cells, it kills cancer cells without harming healthy tissue. It has also been effective in lowering LDL cholesterol levels, and inhibiting the abnormal formation of blood clots.  The latter takes on added importance when you consider that thrombosis (the formation of abnormal blood clots) is the leading cause of heart attacks and stroke. The only negative side effect reported from drinking green tea is insomnia due to the fact that it contains caffeine.   However, green tea contains less caffeine than coffee

You can drink too much water, especially if you drink it to fast. Drinking too much water can lead to a condition known as water intoxication and to a related problem resulting from the dilution of sodium in the body, hyponatremia

I don't know, but I am a regular coffee drinker and a cup of hot tea will turn me into a hyper active person.  It is too much for me.

Green Tea is known mainly to come from China and Japon. But also from Ceylon,  Darjeeling Vietnam and Assam\n\nHealth benefits:\n\nProponents of green tea note that its medicinal benefits have been described for over 1000 years. The Kissa Yojoki, or Book of Tea, written by Zen priest Eisai in 1191, describes how drinking green tea can have a positive effect on the five vital organs, especially the heart. The book discusses tea's medicinal qualities which include easing the effects of alcohol, acting as a stimulant, curing blotchiness, quenching thirst, eliminating indigestion, curing beriberi disease, preventing fatigue, and improving urinary and brain function. Part One also explains the shapes of tea plants, tea flowers and tea leaves and covers how to grow tea plants and process tea leaves. In Part Two, the book discusses the specific dosage and method required for individual physical ailments\nIn more recent times, many studies have investigated a link between the consumption of green tea and a lower incidence of a range of cancers in populations, with mixed results. Green tea enthusiasts have claimed it to be useful for:\nCognition \nStopping certain neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimers \nPreventing/treating cancer \nTreating arthritis \nTreating multiple sclerosis \nPreventing the degradation of cell membranes by neutralizing the spread of free radicals (which occurs during the process of oxidation).\nIncreases fat oxidation (helps the body use fat as an energy source) and raises metabolism.\nLowering LDL cholesterol (in high doses in lab tests) \nPreventing lowered T-Cells due to HIV - In lab tests, EGCG, found in green tea, was found to prevent HIV from attacking T-Cells. However, it is not known if this has any effect on humans yet.\n\nSo Green Tea is definitely good,  not only for boosting the energy (by it's fat oxydation action) but for a lot of other conditions.\n\nThat's my Best Answer!

All of those energy drinks have massive amounts of caffine in them. If you drink them regularly, then yes, they are very bad for you because you'll be addicted to caffine. If you just drink it once a week, then there isn't anything wrong with that.

It is good for you and unless you are allergic to something in it shouldn't hurt you at all. You might turn a nice shade of green tho.....just kidding you won't turn green. I'm just picking about that. I know lots of people who drink it and they are fine, I have had it myself and I'm still here as well. Enjoy your tea.

Yah, I drink probably 8-10 glasses a day. At one time I drank a lot more, but my doctor told me to stop it. I guess too much water can be harmful.

In general - I would recommend sticking with normal green tea as the amount of caffeine is so low that you have nothing to worry about.\n\nI would think that this decaffeinating process will decrease the amounts of some photochemical - however, boiling and steeping tea are more likely to lead to decreases in anti-oxidants. I'm sure what you are consuming is still very healthy.

You should eat something, but you can have it with green tea, just don't put any sugar in it.

Green tea causes your body to purge itself, it may be purging your body of specific nutrients that keeps your body from breaking out. Try taking MSM, a sulfur compound the body uses any number of ways, including, fighting acne.\n\nIt may actually be that Green tea is actually stimulating your body to purge itself of junk, which in turn triggers your pours to get active and therefore you are getting acne.\n\nThe links provided below are for informational purposes, I am not endorsing their products.
