What is the amount of water inned to drink daily, because i drink liters of water daily and now i heared about water intoxication , what is it and how should i control my water consumption?

WHY?: Why drink so much water? Water intoxication is real but rare. There is a silly urban legend about 8 glasses of water a day. Never made sense. Ignore it. Drink "liters"??? If this is OCD look for cognitive behavior therapy from a psychologist. If you have urinary stones, consult a nephrologist.
