Answer 1

Drinking a gallon of water a day is fine as long as you're not drinking it all in one sitting. As a general guideline, most adults need about three quarts of fluid each day. Much of that water comes from food, so 8-12 eight ounce glasses a day is a common recommended intake. You may need more water if the weather is very warm or very dry, if you are exercising, or if you are taking certain medications.

As far as the gut thing goes...give me a break!

Answer 2

you can get water poisoning from drinking too much water.

I've never heard of someone drinking a whole gallon a day.

Answer 3

depends on your daily activity.I drink alot of water but not that much.Use common sense,your body will tell you when to stop !
