A member asked:

I use to chug a 16.9 oz bottle of water every few hours. when i would urinate my pee would almost be clear. am i ok with what i was doing or should i cut back? granted my daily intake was 4-6 16.9oz bottles a day and now i have cut back to 2-4 a day.

I wouldn't do that: Your body needs enough fluid value to make you pee every 6-8 hrs. That is the overflow that washes waste materials from the kidney effectively. You get fluid value from many foods other than liquids. Applesauce is 95% water, most fruits at least 80%, vegies 60%, etc. If you are consuming extra water to follow the 4 glasses myth you can stop. It's not required for good health.
