A member asked:
How much water should i drink? i drink at least 4 litres of water everyday. but i think its too much because i don't really perspire a lot. any harm?

8 12 ounce glasses: A good rule is 8 12 ounce glasses a day. You are drinking double that. If you were in intense athletic training for a marathon or something, this could be necessary. You can become hypo natremic causing seizures with too much water intake. We call it "water intoxication"
