Water

[Ant]

How much water should you consume in a day? I drink loads of the stuff (well its free init :D :D :D :D )

Is that good or bad? (as in health wise, not if its free or not :rolleyes: , I know what you lot are like :p )

[Jezz_S13]

not much.
2 cups of tea's worth, don't drink water on it's own cos it's horrid and don't drink squash.

Then the shower, bath, pee & poo flush stuff which I blissfully waste, but this is wales an there is too much water here.

Yea, water is good for you, cleans out your system etc..
i think its reccommended you drink 8 glasses a day or something??
problems is the toilet visits every 5 mins or so:rolleyes:

you can die from drinking too much water, but its some stupid amount that doesnt even seem possible to do IIRC

Waters g00dz for j00:D

I drink loads per day :thumbs:

Well, according to the bottle on my desk you should drink at least 1.5l per day.

There was some crap in the paper the other week about how drinking too much can kill you. Can't remember the details, but it's something stupid like 8l in a couple of hours - god knows how anyone can drink that much anyway.

Think its 8 glasses a day. There's loads of things that are affected when you don't have the right amount. Things like thinking clearly, wanting to fall asleep in the afternoon, etc. Its the miracle cure for hunger pangs too. Feeling peckish between meal or in the middle of the night? Have a glass of water and it'll go.

The too much water thing was Anthony Andrews. Too much water and your body can't cope with it. Like too much of a certain vitamin.

a lot depends on the conditions.
One of my mum's colleagues used to work in the Gulf in teh aircraft hangers and would drink 4 litres per hour, and not pee! The temps were well over 40degrees all day every day.

You can die from drinking too much water, tis true. I've made myself really ill in the past by overloading my system with water and it really fooks your stomach up... :(

It's how most people died when to they took ecstasy, they just drank and drank water. resulting the brain swelling, coma, death.

[Jezz_S13]

Eezergood.
Waterzbad.

Isn't that a specific allergic reaction to MDMA though ? IIRC it stops your body producing a diauretic, which then stops your kidneys from filtering water out of your blood, but you keep adsorbing it into your blood, it's called something like dilutional hyponaetremia.

Most people die from heatstroke after taking e, I think only a couple of people have actually died from dh, though plenty are left as vegetables from the brain damage.

Too much water killes you due to Osmosis. Basically a large number of the cells in your body have too much internal preassure, and explode/swell. The way to avoid it is to drink proper drinks instead with flavour (the sugars, salts etc help things)
However, to drink a dangerous amount of water is very difficult. chances are you will be sick before you drink too much unless under the influence.
We should most likely all drink more water.
