Default Re: Frequency of pure water intake..

Geez, Apperantly no one on this board has made a mistake, or has gotten too busy that they forget to eat or drink. I bow down to each of you but most folks aren't like that. life gets in the way too fast.
From the way I read the first post, it's NOT an every day occurance, or even done on purpose. So please stop the judgemental posts! If I were you I would just drink a few glasses, or whatever is comfortable, and move on. One day of not drinking much water is not going to do much (if any) damage.
Good luck to you!

>>you don't want to drink a HUGE amount of water very fast. It can kill in extreme cases (like people trying to drink several litres as fast as possible in stupid contests)>>

What kills with "water intoxication" is not peeing.

In the contests, the contestants aren't allowed to eliminate the water.

Actually I don't think that's true. The problem is that the kidneys cannot process the water fast enough, so it's not possible to pee it out.

This is from the page that you cited:

"Water intoxication can be prevented if a person's intake of water does not grossly exceed his or her losses. Healthy kidneys are able to excrete approximately 1 liter of fluid per hour."

Water toxicity can be caused by drinking too much water in a short period of time. This can throw off your electrolytes which can lead to hear arrythmia(sp) and organ failure. It's rare, but it can happen if people make severely bad choices with their behavior, like chugging gallons of water all at once.

I would just drink as much water as is comfortable for you that evening. No need to get crazy and drink a bunch of water all at once, it will just make your stomach hurt!
