FlankSteak 0 #27 June 14, 2006 QuoteIs it just me, or is the ADA recommended 8 glasses of water a day really excessive? I'm on my 4th bottle of water and I have to pee every 20 minutes. How much water do you drink? Brie I don't think people understand about drinking water excessively. Anything in excessive amounts can have reversed affects - yes, even water. Water, good. Too much water, bad.______________________________________________ "...whatever stands against freedom must be set aside, be it ritual or superstition or limitation in any form."

WatchYourStep 0 #30 June 14, 2006 Yes you can drink too much water, but it is very hard to do. I read a chunk about this a few years bike when I was doing a lot of cycling/rowing. Here is a short blurb about it http://chemistry.about.com/cs/5/f/blwaterintox.htm "You start off your skydiving career with a bag full of luck and an empty bag of experience. The trick is to fill the bag of experience up before your bag of luck runs out." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And, I am serious. ridiculous.. pretty much everyone's body needs the same level of hydration to run best. because you've gotten used to operating partially dehyrdrated doesnt mean your body really needs less.. it is EXTREMELY hard to overhydrate.. yes it can be done, but its very difficult.____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

pilotdave 0 #33 June 14, 2006 According to snopes, it's a buncha BS. And snopes is on the interweb so it must be true. http://www.snopes.com/medical/myths/8glasses.asp "If you feel thirsty, drink; if you don't feel thirsty, don't drink unless you want to." As I've heard one doctor put it, drinking lots of water just makes you have to pee more. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedRacer 1 #34 June 14, 2006 I don't know why people actually COUNT 8 glasses /day. Just drink water during the day as you need to & don't worry about it. I put a glass of water by my bed & chug it when the alarm goes off in the morning. Then I just let the water absorb into my cells & it really helps me wake up in the morning.

d_squared431 0 #38 June 14, 2006 You are suppose to drink minimum of 64 oz of water a day alone with other drinks. Once your body starts to get used to it you don't pee as often.TPM Sister#130ONTIG#1 I love vodka.I love vodka cause it rhymes with Tuaca~LisaH You having a clean thought is like billyvance having a clean post.iluvtofly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shaiziel 0 #45 June 14, 2006 http://www.straightdope.com/columns/020208.html Comes down to this. Your body will tell you when it needs water and when it's satisfied. Drink accordingly. Drinking a little more than normal won't hurt, but don't feel guilty for not drinking any one day. If you're using only water to keep hydrated during strenuous activity, you could be causing at least temporary harm as sweating and other methods used by homeostasis take more then H2O to operate. As Cecil advises... sports drinks and healthy snacks are better alternatives for keeping hydrated during exertive activity.---------------------------------------- 6.8% - Almost there!

billvon 3,120 #49 June 14, 2006 >How much water do you drink? Probably about that. 5-6 glasses a day but some of them are pretty large. That's about 64 ounces, or 2 quarts. Since I pee about half a liter at a time, that's only 4 trips to the bathroom. (Note that any non-alcoholic drink contains 99% water, and that food contains significant amounts of water as well.) The ADA's latest: -------------------- New recommendations on water intake were recently released by the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies of Science. According to this report, studies have found that most healthy adults are adequately hydrated. General recommendations were set at approximately 11 cups of total water from all beverages and food, for women and 16 cups for men. About 80 percent of people?s daily water intake comes from drinking water and other beverages?including caffeinated beverages?and the other 20 percent comes from water contained in food. Since current intake is adequate, the expert panel recommends that thirst be the guide for fluid intake. However, they also caution that individuals who are physically active or live in hot climates may need to drink more.
