About water: It's possible to drink too much, but VERY improbable. Most drink too little (by far).

MD's recommend at least 8 8oz. glasses a day(or as someone said above 1/2 your weight in pounds in ounces) --adding an extra glass for every caffinated or alcoholic drink.

It's hard to drink this much.... as that's a full glass of just water 8+ times a day--with the requisite trips to the bathroom. Nearly impossible to drink MORE than that.

If you drink this much water, salt or other things need not be worried about (as a matter of fact, some will say INCREASE your salt intake, if you consistantly drink this much water).

I've done this and it really does help. One digests things better, you naturally don't desire as much coffee or soft drinks (or alcahol) and even the skin just seems more healthy, when one drinks this much water.

For me this is about a gallon a day--and yet MD's say that's about right. Drinking TOO much water would be nearly impossible for me.

I guess I'm not in danger of too much water, especially since I drink too much sodas and tea. But, I already make a lot of trips to the john. A gallon of water a day may keep me there every five minutes!
