If you drink more than 10 cups of water a day it can wash out your electrolites, which you need to stay healthy! It can also wash out important minerals and vitamins like Potassium that are water-soluble. So try to stick to 8 or 9 cups of water a day. If you tend to drink it too fast, use smaller cups, or put the cup down between every sip. It will help you regulate how much and how fast you drink it.
PS: Water CAN hurt you if you drink TOO much of it, just so you know, because I noticed a couple other people said it's good no matter how much you drink. No offense or anything :-)

Drinking lots of water is something you are supposed to do. However if drink lots after eating is causing upset to your stomach you might want to slow down on water consumption after meals

No! Of course not. The water hydrates you and is good for you. I drink a lot of water too when I eat.

Technically, you should not drink with your meal. The digestive enzymes in your body need to break down the food to help absorb/metabolize it.
Drinking dilutes these enzymes, making digestion harder & slower. It would be better if you drank an hour before or 2 hours after your meals.

It will actually clean out your system faster but the smarter thing to do would be to drink the water BEFORE you eat so you feel fuller faster!!

Its better to drink a lot on a full stomach than an empty one.

I don't know. Ask your doctor. You may have a condition. Who knows??
