recommends 3 to 3 1/2 quarts of water per day, and even more for pregnant
or nursing women. According to him, drinking this amount will virtually
eliminate asthma attacks and many other health problems. There is no
such thing as drinking too much water. Amy in NY

There is a story told to abnormal-psychology students of a woman whose father
died and she started drinking water. She drank water non-stop until she
drowned because she went past her systems' ability to process, and it got
into her lungs.
Other than that, I'm wanting to agree there's no such thing as drinking too
much water.

Technically, that isn't true. There is such thing as water intoxication, also
known as hyponatremia. In rare instances, usually with endurance athletes,
too much water is taken in throwing off the body's balance of salt and water.

"They call it WATER INTOXICATION or more technically HYPONATREMIA. It happens
when the body’s balance of salt and water become quickly diluted. It affects
the production of nerve impulses, and impairs mental processes. Cells take on
extra water and expand. As they swell, they put stress on the body’s organs,
particularly the brain, which has little room to expand within the skull.
Sometimes Hyponatremia is caused by an underlying medical condition. "
Not an issue most people need to worry about, but still a medical reality.

Sure there is. Water intoxication and renal medullary washout are two
serious consequences. But, then, in our society that is so dehydrated, it
would be difficult to do (no, 3 1/2 qts of water a day won't do it), but
like anything, too much of a good thing is bad.
Everything in moderation :)
