A member asked:
Is it bad to drink 2 glasses of water at night? wife says it will overload the kidneys n must avoid drinking too much water at night
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Water and kidneys: If your kidneys are healthy the 2 glasses of water taken at night will not harm them, although you may find that you will need to get up before morning to urinate. Your kidneys work 24/7 and to them there is no difference between 2 glasses of water at night or 2 glasses of water at any other time.
