Accepted Answer

Very safe unless...: You would want to limit caffeinated green tea due to the caffeine content but it is safe for most people to drink copious quantities of decaf green tea. However, there is one important exception; those with certain autoimmune diseases could have them aggravated by green tea. If you do not have autoimmune issues then it is quite safe.

Question 4

what do you suggest if i am drinking way too much?

Accepted Answer

Alcohol: If you have a history of chronic, heavy alcohol use, you may need to be detoxified in a hospital.  Encourage you to become involved with alcoholics anonymous (aa). It is free, confidential, supportive and can be very effective. Additionally, consider working with an addiction medicine specialist or an addiction psychiatrist.

Question 5

could you tell me what happens if you drink too much soda?

Accepted Answer

Soda: The research on soda is generally supportive of the idea that soda is not good for you.  Even a can of soda a day, because of the volume of sugar, or other chemicals (non-sugar substitutes) is not healthy.  Drinking water with flavors, other additives to water is generally a better alternative to soda.  I won't even get into what coca cola does to rust....

Question 6

is drinking 3l of water too much?

Accepted Answer

Not if exercising...: Exercise and increased ambient heat will increase fluid requirements over and above the two liter, minimum threshold. Id you are engaged in high intensity sporting activities and become thirsty, you are finished, because you will lose more water than your GI tract can absorb: hence the rule, drink when not thirsty!

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Yes: Too much of a good thing ... It's an acidic product that can upset your GI tract.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes, it's possible to drink too much water and that can lead to water intoxication.

Question 9

what to do if i drink too much rum?

Accepted Answer

Get help cutting: down, or stopping altogether would be my suggestion. Safe alcohol consumption in men is no more than 2 standard drinks (12 oz beer=5 oz. wine= 1 1/2 oz distilled spirits) per day (and if 100 or 151 proof, it's essentially 2 drinks in one), no more than 14 per week and never more than 4 per occasion. If you need help cutting back/stopping, there are many programs that can help. Talk to your PCP.

Question 10

can you drink too much water in a day?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If you kept drinking water all day long your body will tell you when to stop .  If you were to ignore the symptoms of fullness you will most likely start to have problems.     8 to 10 glasses of water is healthy and if you are working out side  in the heat you may need more.
