Does drinking too much water cause water retention?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: but most likely will give you water intoxication if the amount of water ingested is out of proportion of body's needs. Can be dangerous if taken to extremes. Ingesting too much sodium will lead to water retention.
