Bodybuilder? good.  2 gallons might be too much....depend on your body weight and you are  going to have some water retention.  I say 1 gallons and if you want get cut for a show...during the last week use water pills to remove any excess of water under your skin.\n\ntake care.

the MINIMUM liquid that a person should take is about 2 to 2.5 liters a day. it includes water, other beverages and the food that you eat. 2 gallons is not much as long as your body can accomodate that amount.\nare you practicing "water therapy"?

LOL!!  There is no "required" amount that you "should" drink each day.\nJust a lot of myth and folklore.\n\nDrink when you're thirsty.  Period.  That's all that is needed.

Most of those rule aren't really accurate. If you are very active you will need to be drinking a lot more water than the average person, and if you live in a hot climate or are overweight you need to drink more too. If you go by half your body weight it should be in ounces, not glasses. If you are athletic and you want to go by that rule then you need to go by 2/3 your body weight in ounces. At first you might have to go a lot, but you will adjust. Don't let yourself get thirsty, that's a sign of dehydration.

Lots of people still believe you should drink 8 glasses a day. (Equals about 2000 ml)\n\nIt's not true.  This was debunked a few years ago.  You don't need to drink 8 glasses of water a day.  \nYou don't need ANY arbitrary target amount per day.  Drink when you're thirsty.  Period!\n\nhttp://www.snopes.com/medical/myths/8glasses.asp\nhttp://calorielab.com/news/2006/05/28/8-glasses-of-water-a-diet-urban-legend

you drink that much because your body is telling you to drink.  maybe you just get dehydrated easily.  regardless, you can never drink too much water.

This is indeed a habit and not a physical problem. Reduce fluid intake to about 1.5 litter (about a quart and a half) per day. Urinate at bed time and through will power, you need to retain the urine as long as possible. Some people are polydipsic and consume far more fluid than they need...if you are one of these, then limit fluid intake.

Just one a day, i think they might upset your insides if you drink any more than that!

Not to be rude, but you could easily drink more than 6 liters of water a day, as long as you are eating as well.  Dilutional hyponatremia only usually occurs after severe sweating, where a great deal of electrolytes have been lost, then a very large amount of pure water is taken in suddenly.  You just go about your normal day, eat normal, and decide to drink 6 liters of water, you'll just have to urinate more.

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.

Normally 8 cups is recommened...not all at once either. Drink it over the course of the entire day.\n\nHowever, if you exercise, you should increase this amount to 10-12 cups.

A daily intake of 1-2 liters of water is required for the normal physiological functioning of the body, depending on the ambient weather conditions. The absolute minimum over the long term is about 1.6 liters (600 ml for urine, 200 ml for fecal losses, and 800 ml for losses via the skin and lungs). This includes water contained in food (i.e. it is not necessary to drink 1-2 liters of water a day).\n\nFor those who ask about a glass : a liter is 5 normal drinking glasses as each is 200 cubic cl

Sure, 2 glasses a day does the trick.
