yes, but it's hard to do. there is something called water intoxication, and it means that you overloaded the body with water and washed away too many electrolytes in your system (sodiums and sugars needed in the blood). you'd have to drink well over the normal recommended 64 ounces, and all at once, (or in a very short time period) to have this happen. Problem is, it will kill you.

Yes , people die from drinking too much water (like the idiot fraternity initiations or that radio contest ).
Also , drinking water when you have low levels of electrolytes makes the problem worse by further diluting them .
Also , coke and juices are 99% water ! They just have extra stuff in them .
Life is about balance .
Too little or too much is always possible .

Yes, excessive intake of water drives down your sodium level and can kill you. However, you'd need to drink 10L + in total water in a single day. Keep in mind that this counts the water present in juices, foods, coffees, teas, etc. So, just limit yourself to less than 10L of fluids a day and you're good :) Just for an idea of scale, my 8-inch bottle of Voss (awesome water btw) is a third of a liter, so 10L approximately a metric fuckton.

Health people say 8 - 8oz glasses of water a day is healthy. If you drink it by the gallons, I would say yes, it is bad for you. I drink water all day and night, I feel fine. So keep drinking your water. It's good for you.

Everything in moderation. It would be bad for you if you forcefully drank gallons of water. Sounds to me that you are fine. To drink water regularly and normally throughout the day is very good for you.

You can drink too much water and it causes kidney problems. If your urine is clear you are drinking to much water it should have the same color as lemonade - if it is lemonade color you are fine. Good luck!
