Unfortunately (at least for me, myself and I), I don't keep a measure of my daily water consumption... It's something I should keep track of if I wish to maintain a more consistent exercise routine...

I don’t drink as much as I like to. I hate plain water so I like to add diluted juice to it. I don’t feel any different with water. I feel it doesn’t help clear my skin as I’ve read it’s supposed to. Maybe it does my insides some good which I’m happy about.

I try to drink at least 80 ounces every day. I had a kidney stone before and I don't want to deal with that crap again so I became a part-time fish. I do feel better overall too.

You must be careful though drinking too much water can be bad it can

1. Swells up your cells

Sodium and potassium ions in your body maintain the fluid balance between the cells and the blood. However, when there is excess water in the blood and salt and ions in the cells, water rushes into the cells and swells them up. This is risky for your nerve cells of your brain due to the restricted area in the skull and may lead to seizures, headaches and brain injury.

2. Low potassium levels

Hypokalemia or low potassium levels are another side effect of overhydration. This may lead to symptoms like vomiting, low blood pressure, nausea, and diarrhea. So if your body is in a state of water retention, its best to not drink more water.

3. Low sodium levels

Drinking too much water can disturb your body's overall sodium balance. Critically, it should be 145 mEq/L but when it goes lower than 135 mEq/L, it can result in the swelling up of cells due to too much water. In case of sodium loss, one must avoid drinking more water as it just makes conditions worse. This condition is seen in athletes who lose a lot of sodium due to sweating.

4. Muscle cramps

Filling up on the water can disturb your body's fluid balance due to a drop in electrolyte levels. This can disturb the normal functioning of muscles, thereby resulting in muscle cramps and spasms. So if you are into a high-intensity sport, then you must drink water to hydrate yourself but you must also drink sports drinks to fill your body up with electrolytes.

5. Overwhelming the kidneys

Drinking liters of water in a short period of time can overwhelm your kidneys. It puts too much pressure on the kidneys to filter the blood and excrete water from the body. Overhydration can be dangerous if you are dealing with kidney problems. Experts believe that it may spark up the risk of chronic kidney diseases. They also believe that too much water may increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

6. Makes you feel lethargic

The primary function of your kidneys is excretion of fluids. When you drink more water than what is required, you kidneys flush that out through urine. However, they need to stress to drain out all this water. These results in a stress-reaction from the hormones thereby making you feel fatigued.

Water helps when you’re dehydrated. It helps with headaches and muscle aches. I drink a lot of water 💧 to relieve stress and also so I don’t get muscle cramps.

MermaidMotel · Answer

I don't track how much water I drink. If my pee is clear, I'm assuming I'm drinking enough. If it's yellow.. time to drink more water.

Dark93 · Answer

You're drinking 3.8 liters a day? Unless you're exercising and sweating a lot that could be dangerous.
Over hydration is a thing.
I'm 6'4" 270lbs and with a mild daily workout I shouldn't need more than 2 liters a day.
