[QUOTE=protoAuthor;16366550]No, that's if water fills your LUNGS.[/QUOTE] I often tell people that i drown when i was 2, but in reality, i suffocated. I fell into the pool and swallowed a bunch of water but none of it was in my lungs. I was in there 10 minutes before they found where i had gone.
I learned something today from the School of Facepunch.
There was that dude who died running the London marathon because he drank too much water. Can't remember how it actually killed him, I just know he drank too much. He got heart failure for some reason. But in your case it's not bad at all, healthier than drinking too little water at least.
Too much water -> osmosis will cause lots of water to pass into your cells causing them to burst. Also clear piss is good because it shows your body is well hydrated.
If you really are having to urinate every 20minutes you MUST get a blood test.
[QUOTE=Slig army;16367318]I have no idea what you just said. Could you mind rewording that?[/QUOTE] I MENT Thet in a hot day of 35+degrees when you swet alot , 6 litters is great to your body. But if you will drink 6 litters in a cold today, when not moving at all sitting all,you will feint.
Do your eyes itch by any chance? I only ask coz i was drinking a LOT of water too, and had itchy eyes. Went to the doctor, she did a blood test and told me that i had a high glucose level (blood sugar) and that i was borderline diabetic. She said i could go on medication or just cut back on the sugar i eat (which wasnt much already - im a savory kinda guy, only sugar i get really is from beer and fruit juice concentrates). She said drinking a lot of water was my bodies way of trying to get rid of the excess sugar in my blood, and my eyes were itching coz of the same reason. Hope this helps in some way
How many times do you piss each day?
Drinking too much washes the salt crystals and shit out of your blood, then you die. But if what you say it true, i would see the doctor, drinking too much/being thirsty alot can be linked to some serious health issues
I have the same thing, after I drink something, I fell more thirsty... I drank once 11.5 litres and nothing happened. Also, I have a problem with my right kidney, it works 75% less than a normal one, maybe this is the problem. The doctors said that it's ok to drink a lot if I have this problem, because I'm training it to be more fitter.
lol, whats wrong with your right kidney?, get hepatitis or something
As long as you don't put drugs in it, nails, acid you should be fine. Also don't lit yourself on fire whilst drinking it, the water in your body won't protect you.
[QUOTE=thisispain;16366564]clear urine? clear urine is a sign of over-hydration, that's not good. it's healthier than under-hydration[/QUOTE] Yeah, you want to be in the middle, which with un-clear urine, you're not.
[QUOTE=thisispain;16367107]not when you are going to the bathroom for 20 minutes i mean, 2 or 3 liters a day can be way too much for some people, and way too little for others i have to drink at least 5 liters a day due to my metabolism[/QUOTE] Funny, my brother drank 5 liters a day when he was in basic training and that's when he was outdoors for 20 hours of the day most of a month and a half. Last I checked you don't go outside and do physical things too often.
[QUOTE=Guardian-Angel;16369058] Last I checked you don't go outside and do physical things too often.[/QUOTE] huh
It's fine, I drink 5-6 litres of water a day and I never get sick. Being well hydrated is good for you.
[QUOTE=CobraZero;16366770]If you drink too much water at once you can die from a lack of Sodium in your blood and your brain will swell up with water and you can die. Or your kidneys can just fail..[/QUOTE] This. Also, are you including the water you get from the food you eat or just the water you drink plain?
[QUOTE=Bengley;16366446]No, it's fine. I think I heard somewhere that some person died because they drank 27 litres in one day.[/QUOTE] No he drank 10-12 liters before he died, I don't think it's possible to drink 27 kg of water in a day, your stomach would explode earlier then when you reach 27 litres. The more you drink, the more diluted the vital ion and salt-balance in your body get.
Oh my God you drank 4 litres of water, You're gonna die, Dr. Facepunch out
Your kidneys WILL crash eventually if you keep it up, think of it as another muscle. It eventually gets incredibly tired and refuses to move for a while. Other words: Don't drink that much every day.
[QUOTE=thisispain;16366474]hahahaha let me put it this way, if your urine is completely clear, drink less [editline]12:20AM[/editline] that's bad, you can give yourself serious bladder issues you don't want irritated prostate, trust me.[/QUOTE] And here we have the most sensitive side of thisispain.

CLEAR = GOOD[/QUOTE] [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urine]Wikipedia[/url] [quote]Unusual color [b] * Colorless- indicates over-hydration, which is usually considered much healthier than dehydration. In the context of a drug test, it could indicate a potential attempt to avoid detection of illicit drugs in the bloodstream through over-hydration.[/b] * Yellowing/light orange may be caused by removal of excess B vitamins from the bloodstream. * Certain medications such as rifampin and pyridium can cause orange urine. * Bloody urine is termed hematuria, potentially a sign of a bladder infection. * Consumption of beets can cause urine to have a pinkish tint; the condition is harmless and temporary. * Dark orange to brown urine can be a symptom of jaundice, rhabdomyolysis, or Gilbert's syndrome. * Black or dark-colored urine is referred to as melanuria and may be caused by a melanoma. * Reddish or brown urine may be caused by porphyria. Again, the consumption of beets can cause the urine to have a harmless, temporary pink or reddish tint. * Greenish color is usually a consequence of consuming asparagus. * Fluorescent yellow / greenish urine may be caused by dietary supplemental vitamins, especially the B vitamins. * Dark yellow urine is usually indicative of dehydration.

[QUOTE=protoAuthor;16366533]Aren't we normally, like, 80%?[/QUOTE] I thought it was 98%
[QUOTE=BOP;16370190]I thought it was 98%[/QUOTE] 60% for adult males and 55% for adult females. Minorities are irrelevant due to water fluctuations from growth.
[QUOTE=MC3craze;16370158][url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urine]Wikipedia[/url] Your dad doesn't know jack shit. :c00l:[/QUOTE] You got me into reading a whole article on urine.
You'll be fine, but going to the toilet a lot.
It's okay to drink lot's of water say six liters a day as long as you replaced lost electrolytes and sodium..
Too much will get you low sodium.
[QUOTE=thisispain;16366474]hahahaha let me put it this way, if your urine is completely clear, drink less [/QUOTE] But this science book I had when I was in elementary school says that if your urine is clear that means you're healthy and drinking enough. D:
