can you drink TOO MUCH water?

The "recommendation" that you should drink 8 glasses a day has been debunked. It's not true. And yes, you CAN drink too much, but it's pretty hard to do. There are a couple of cases every year where someone drinks so much water that they die. Takes a LOT, though, so don't worry too much about it.

Drink when you're thirsty. Period.
Do not obsess over trying to drink some arbitrary amount daily. There's no proof that it's helpful at all. Thousands of generations of your ancestors never worried about it and you shouldn't either.

The recommendation is 6 to 8 glasses of water a day. Figuring a glass to be 8 oz. then 6 x 8 =48oz ; 8 x 8 = 64oz. There are 16oz to a pint. Figure it from there.
Remember also that other things count too: juices, jello, ice cream, soups.

Recommendation is 8 glasses of water per day, but, if you are a very active person, you will need to consume more to replenish your losses. Too much water - not a problem, you just have to visit the rest room more often, anyway, this will also help to flush your kidney - a way of ridding the body toxic.

8 pints an afternoon is ridiculous, the advice is 8 glasses, it really is about 2 litres. Even this may be truly severe once you're ingesting fairly some fruit and veg it really is specifically water.

You should drink 4 pints/2 litres
your body will not allow you physically to drink too much, however, if it did, all your body cells would expand, and as they have no cell wall (like plant cells do) they will burst when there's too much water in them!
