TOO MUCH WATER

It’s possible to drink too much water, but it’s highly unlikely that you would ever do so. In the medical literature, drinking too much water leads to a condition know as hyponatremia. Hyponatremia most often occurs in athletes involved in triathlons and ultra-marathons. A few of these athletes consume many gallons of water during these unusually long competitions and don’t or can’t stop to urinate. Thus, they impede their normal fluid-mineral balance and actually become intoxicated with too much water. Such a condition, however, is rare.

I’ve never observed anything close to intoxication happening with any of my participants, and some of them consume 2 gallons of water daily. Of course, they also have no trouble urinating frequently.

Note: Anyone with a kidney disorder or anyone who takes diuretics should consult a physician before making modifications to his or her water consumption.
