Drinking too much water?

Question

This might sound weird but I’m kind of scared I drink too much water. I typically drink 6 16.9 oz bottles a day with other drinks included, sometimes it’s more or less. I have a fear or drinking too much. I have a history of kidney stones so it’s became a habit and I never feel I have enough water. Is this normal?

Answer

As last long as you're drinking to thirst, I think that's a fine amount. Over drinking plain water just overworks your kidneys and throws off your salt balance. So I'd also recommend adding some electrolyte drops to your water. That will hydrate you better and also keep your salt levels balanced.

Answer

It’s fine!

Answer

That’s perfectly fine! Better than me. My OB wants me to drink at least a gallon of water a day, and that’s a struggle for me.
