Answers:
About a half gallon a day. Less if you drink a lot of soda or juice.

If you drink 2 gallons of water you can deplete your electrolytes and that can cause death. There was a contest at a radio station some time ago where a woman drank 2 gallons of water and died of water poisoning. It is possible to drink too much water but if you're only drinking water when you're thirsty you won't drink that much unless there is something wrong with your body that a physician should diagnose.
ANYONE should not drink unless they are thirsty. By OVER DRINKING you could easily throw your electrolytes out of balance. NOT a good thing to do.
8 8oz Glasses of water a day is what doctors recommend, but more wont hurt.
like 8 big glasses ..... that's what I drink and I'm pretty healthy.....but if you use alot of sugar u need more
3 or 4 glasses a day should be fine
you should drink enough that your pee is a light yellow color. clear is too much, dark yellow is too little. it differs for everyone mostly depending on your activity level.
you should drink at least one 8 oz. glass of water for every 20 lbs you wrigh...more if you excercise a lot

i dont think that drinking too much water does anything except make you have to pee a lot.
