5 gallons a day is not good. I've read articles where you can actually dilute your blood to the point where you get fucked up (high).

I've also read where you can actually die. Although at the moment I can't recall the exact mechanism that causes this. Granted I'm speaking of very large amounts.

WTF 5 gallons! I think it's called drowning. I have heard that drinking over 2 gallons a day is harmful. However, I cannot point you to a study to verify this. In any event 2 should suffice.

The official name for this condition is hyponatremia. The symptoms generally mirror those of dehydration (apathy, confusion, nausea, and fatigue), although some individuals show no symptoms at all. If untreated, hyponatremia can lead to coma and even death.

Isn't that how people that are tripping on E die(maybe it wasn't E)? I'm not positive about this but I thought I heard that they feel they're dehydrated so they drink alot of water. Basically drowning themselves.

I'm drinking like 3-4 gallons a day. As long as you take a good dose of vitamins, eat your vegies and split the water throughout the day it's perfectly ok.

Depends a lot on the kind of work you do. If you are roofing in phoenix it is one thing. If you are riding the desk job in an air conditioned office that is another. I have done both so I know you will go through 3-4 gallons anyway when it is stupid hot and you are busting your ass all day. Nowadays I probably only drink 1.5 gallons and I have to force myself to get that much down.

If you feel ok...do it. If you're drinking enough water to cause hyponatremia, you'll know it. Just listen to your body bro...as you always should.
