A member asked:

I've heard that you can drink too much water is this true water?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: but it would take some effort to do, there are some disorders that do result if excessive water intake . We normally need 1/2 our body wt in Kg in oz of water. And that is at really a minimum -how much we NEED.
