Do you think drinking more than 8 cups of water a day is too much?

Nobody should need to drink more than 2 litres of liquid a day. If you drink more than that, you are in serious danger of over diluting the electrolytes which is far more dangerous to health than drinking too little. Our bodies are able to cope with slight under-hydration for short periods and over-hydration can cause far more damage in the long run. Your best guide is to drink when you feel thirsty. If your urine is pale or golden yellow and you are passing between a litre and a half and two litres a day, then you are drinking an adequate amount.

8 cups ? how big is your cup ? I think 8 cups isn't a wonder . it is a common amount and a lot of people can do it .

I have a friend who says you can NEVER drink too much water, but he's probably supposing you're getting all the electrolytes (that @owlwings mentions) from all the food you eat all day. But Owlwings is probably right.

All of such healthy suggestions are not suitable for everyone. we should adopt according our own situation.

8 glasses is enough. When you take excess, you sweat alot especially if you live in a tropical country. Moreover, if you're taking excess cold water, I believe it will weaken yur bones.

Water can't simly think that to eight glasses of water a dat. Should follow the thirsty drink,thirst will warm drink,drinking will three.Don't feel thirsty,determined not to drink water,once the drink, then be sure to drink warm water,and ,once drank there,slowly goods,rather than irrigation or booze.

what is the volume or size of your cup
