Drinking Too Much Water is Dangerous which can lead to death

yes, i could happen. Water intoxication. We are advised to drink atleast 8 glasses, but it also depends on our activity or how much water we are losing everyday. especially when it's hot, or summer, we are more thirsty, so drinking more than 8 is ok.

It depends on the situation. You need to drink more water when your are expose to the heat wave of the sun. You drink water 6-8 glasses on the daily basis.If your having trouble with your kidney yeah it could kill. Through our kidney the waste being excreted.

Anything in excess is of course dangerous and drinking water is no exception. But these incidents/similar surveys generally mislead people who drink less water. Firstly 8 glasses of water daily - is nowhere near a quantity that can cause any harm/danger to our body. Moreover we do not drink 8 cups of water all of a sudden but only when we feel thirsty and when our stomach can accommodate it. Inadequate drinking is more harmful for our kidneys.. After all, if you live in a relatively hot locality, half of what you drink goes out as sweat without getting filtered by kidney. On the other hand, after sweating, our blood goes short of water - sacrificing the water content of our blood for the filtering process which is much more dangerous than drinking a few cups extra. So guyz, please never be afraid to be taking in adequate amount of water, your body badly needs it, under normal mindset/circumstances we can never drink excess water... just make sure you avoid these experiments/competitions involving drinking/eating... Nice discussion... cheers!

as the saying goes, 'anything taken in excess is dangerous.' We are advised to drink, but. of course within the limit that our body could take. Water is very essential in the body since it dissolves salts and let us perspire and urinate more, thus eliminating unwanted dirts in the body.

It's simple really. Too much of anything is bad for you. That's how I look at it anyway. Just as you can't get enough of something you can always have too much of that exact thing. Exercise, drinking water, eating to much fruit at once, etc. Healthy things can be hazardous as well. Just the way I look at it.

I have been advised to drink more water everyday.They have told me that drinking water is good to my health,because i often get a cold,so i force myself to dring plenty of water, despite i'm thirst or not!After hearing your poit,i will make a change

Oh I see. What a sad case! I drank almost 20 glass of water yesterday and I feel fine today. I am not drinking these much everyday but when the day is humid. I think too much water would not be good also for the health as you say your kidney work overtime to filter excess water out of the circulatory system. So, it is true that drinking 8 glasses will be fine.

I agree with you and I remember one time I drank wayy to much water. I had this headache that I could swear came straight from hell.It was horrible and my head was just throbbing the whole day. So I usually just drink 4-5 glasses of water a day or when I get thirsty.

hi there, thank you so much for that information yes it is true, i just realized all that. but thank you again.

Thanks my friend for informing about the excess use of water in our body..........
