How much water is too much to drink?

Question

Is it bad to drink a lot of water a day? I’ve been drinking 10+ bottles a day. I calculated my weight and I’m drinking double the amount of what is recommended for my weight. I’m pregnant too so just want to stay hydrated.

Answer

Someone who isn’t pregnant should drink half their weight in ounces (at least) and during pregnancy you need even more. I drank about 100-120oz a day during pregnancy and have continued to drink that much, or more, because I’m breastfeeding now. There is such a thing as “too much” but 10 glasses a day is nowhere near alarming.

Answer

This is all actually a myth!!! An exact number of ounces to quench hydration has been deemed a myth for quite awhile. There’s an Adam Ruins Everything episode about it. As a health freak and vegan, I personally try to drink 1 gallon a day bc the body hydrates from inwards out and I have super mega dry skin AND bc I live and work on a farm and do lots of physical labor. But you’re only required to drink when you feel thirsty for optimal health. If your lips are starting to get chapped or your mouth feels dry, drink then and that’s it! All you’re required to do :)

Answer

It's really hard to drink too much really....
