Question 1

Help please! is drinking a gallon of water a day bad?

Accepted Answer

A gallon a day is probably more than what you need if you are not exercising vigorously or sweating a lot.   However if you are feeling well otherwise, there is no harm done. Be sure that you don't have any health conditions which may cause you to have excessive thirst (diabetes is just one example) and urination.

Question 2

Drinking 2 gallons of water per day bad?

Accepted Answer

2 gallons or 7 liters is excessive water intake in most cases. If you do not have kidney stones then this much water intake is not recommended. You can develop water toxicity, electrolyte problems, increased blood pressure etc. 
2-3 l /day is adequate water intake for most individuals.

Question 3

Is 2-5 lite beers every single day that bad for my liver or overall health? i do also drink at least a gallon of water a day and zero caffene

Accepted Answer

Yes it is. If you are not addicted to the alcohol you may be habituated. I would see my md and try to cut back the alcohol or seek help to do so.

Question 4

Is drinking a gallon of water per day too much for a 135 pound female?

Accepted Answer

Drinking a cup (8oz) of water every hour for 16 hours is a lot. If a person's body is used to this amount of water and has a steady state in her body that maintains proper salt balance, then it might be ok. If a person who doesn't drink much water suddenly decided to drink a lot of water every day, then her salts might be low for a few days until her body gets used to new amount of water intake.

Question 5

If my electrolyte levels and sodium levels were normal, is drinking 1.5 gallons of water safe per day.?

Accepted Answer

Yes i suspect this would not be a worry to you providing your sodium level is not low and you are not diabetic.(both ruled out via labs)  i would make sure your urine specific gravity is normal.     There are alot more problems related to less drinking than more, i believe.

Question 6

I drink a gallon of soda a day and very little water. is it ok to have orange ish urine and it burned. ?

Accepted Answer

Drinking a gallon of soda a day is not good for you.  If it has sugar in it, it is fattening and bad for your teeth.  Even without sugar, it isn't good for you because it has no nutritional value.  Drink more water, milk, or real fruit juice in smaller amounts. If you don't feel better, see your doctor.  Your urine should be checked for infection or other abnormal findings.  Good luck!
