        I believe it is actually dangerous to drink that much water. The lady who died on the radio show only drank 2 gallons.

        Ingesting more water than you need can increase your total blood volume. And since your blood volume exists within a closed system - your blood circulatory system - needlessly increasing your blood volume on a regular basis puts unnecessary burden on your heart and blood vessels.

        Your kidneys must work overtime to filter excess water out of your blood circulatory system. Your kidneys are not the equivalent of a pair of plumbing pipes whereby the more water you flush through your kidneys, the cleaner they become; rather, the filtration system that exists in your kidneys is composed in part by a series of specialized capillary beds called glomeruli. Your glomeruli can get damaged by unnecessary wear and tear over time, and drowning your system with large amounts of water is one of many potential causes of said damage.

          holy crap, I force myself to drink about 1 - 1.5 gallons and it's hard, I too get that dehydrated feeling if I don't, but I can't imagine where 4 gallons could fit lol.


          you take allergy medicine or something?

            4 gallons how the fuck?

            Obviously nothing wrong with you or someone would have told you...

            Must be a bad habit.. and your body just took to it after soo many years..

                                            That's way too much, and yes it can kill you, but I think it normally only happens to infants?

                                                  Maybe you're hypoglycemic? That can cause the same issues you're feeling, because of sugars.

                                                  You need to see a specialist bro, you know it's not normal.

                                                    4 gallons that's like 15 litres. You mean you drink 15 KG of water per day? Even if your body consumes alot of water you still have to piss like 10+ of them out every day in that case.

Even if you were a 350 pound athlete who worked out in the hot sun or trained half the day that wouldn't be normal. Go get checked out by a doctor just in case.

Usually the only time I drink anything is to wash food down! I was sick and couldn't eat or drink for 4 days and still didn't get dehydrated. Very few times have I ever been "thirsty". I'll walk on the treadmill for an hour, sweat like a pig and not be thirsty. My Dad is like you - always drinking water and I think I freak him out
