A member asked:
If my electrolyte levels and sodium levels were normal, is drinking 1.5 gallons of water safe per day.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Excessive drinking: Yes i suspect this would not be a worry to you providing your sodium level is not low and you are not diabetic.(both ruled out via labs) i would make sure your urine specific gravity is normal. There are alot more problems related to less drinking than more, i believe.
