Is two gallons of water a day too much?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
For most people!: For most, but not if you lose excess water through sensible and insensible water loss. This can occur in extreme heat, diarrhea, extrem exercise or physical work. But this is four times what is recommended for the average person!
