It's summer, and the heat is intense. I've been drinking so much water lately, so much that sometiems my pee is as clear as water.
Is this good or bad?

No, not at all. It means you're getting enough water to flush the toxins out of your kidneys.
The darker the urine, the less water you drink usually. Darker urine can also come from drinking too much soda and not enough water. The yellow tint are the remains of the toxins you're flushing out of your body.
While water is good, don't go too overboard either. The recommended is 8-eight ounce glasses of water a day. I drink 100 ounces myself, but have heard of some people that drink 1-2 galons of water. I wouldn't go over a galon, personally.
If you're really concerned, it can't hurt to call up your dr.'s office and ask his/her nurse.

Actually, this is good.
It is important to keep your body hydrated and lots of water aids in proper digestion of food.
If you drink 8 - 16 cups of water daily, that is neither too much nor too little. And yes, it is possible to drink too much water ... it's water poisioning because the brain needs a certain amount of sodium in the body to function properly. Don't drink more than 20 cups a day, and make sure you eat properly.

Clear pee is a good thing. One of the wonderful things about water is that you can't drank too much; that is unless you are stuck in a car on a long trip and no way to stop, then you can drank too much.

It's good! Only when it's dark should you worry, as this means it's too concentrated and you're not taking in enough fluids. Keep drinking the water to keep those kidneys healthy and the rest of you feeling good.

Clear or very light urine is good. Dark yellow means that you are not taking in enough water.
Orange urine could be a sign of liver problems.
Constant thirst and peeing, especially if you get tired easily and have blurry vision, are signs of diabetes.

That is fine. Just be sure to get adequate salt to go with the water to prevent heat exhaustion.

It is a good sign, don't worry about it. When our urine is too yellow doctors always recommend that we drink lots of water, so you are doing something good for your body.

If your urine is as clear as water, it's a CLUE that you're FULLY HYDRATED and your body is getting RID OF EXCESS WATER.
In other words, YES -- YOU ARE DRINKING TOO MUCH WATER!!!!
