Is it bad to drink a lot of water at once?

It's not bad to drink lots of water in a short of period of time as long as you drinking it slowly. But it's bad to drink too much water at a fast rate.

There was a woman who died last year in Sacramento, CA because she dranked more than a gallon of water in an extremely short period of time. She was attending a contest to win a Nintendo Wii console for her kids and the winner was whoever drinked the most water in a blast.

Is it bad to drink a lot of water at once?

I know that people are suppose to drink at least 8 cups of water a day, but I don't have much time to err... slowly drink that much water throughout a day. So is it bad to like drink 2-3 cups of water at once in like less than 10 seconds. Also is it bad to drink a cup or two of water right after...

only if you drink a lot at once. If you drink a bunch over a span of time (with periods where you dont drink water in between) then it should be ok. For you it might not be harmful to you because your body is saying that it needs water. When you feel thirsty, that probably is a sign that your body wants some water.

It's not bad for you as long as you are not stretching your stomach to fast at once. I always put a 32 oz gatorade bottle full of water in the fridge and drink it first thing in the morning within 2-5 min and nothing bad has happened. The only thing about drinking water at night is you may have to get up several times during the night to use the toilet. Water is good for you. I myself drink a minimum of 1 gal. a day.

You cant drown your body in water unless you drinkk well over a gal in a very short period of time.

Everything needs to be done in moderation. I know for a fact that if someone drinks too little or too much water they could die. You said that you are constantly thirsty are you sure that you don't have diabetes. I think you should go to the doctor just in case. Experts have said that it's ok to drink eight glasses of water a day, if you feel the need to drink more I don't think it would be healthy.

Yes It Is Bad Because If You Put To Many Fluids in Your System You Can Actually Drown Yourself It Happened To A Woman On A Radio Talk Show Last Year She Drank 8 Glasses In 5 Min's And She Dropped Dead On The Spot

It isn't bad or good to drink a lot of water. Your stomach will tell you when it's full. As for drinking that much water - It's an old wives tale that it's good for you. recent studies (please look up the reference yourself) have proven that drinking more water than that needed to slake your thirst is NOT beneficial.

as far as I'm aaware it's all fine but obviously not ridiculous amounts like the women who killed herself.

And drinkin a glass of ice cold water before you have a meal is actually really good for you! It kick starts your motabalism so you burn more fat when eating your dinner or something :p

Anything you do too fast is bad when it comes to eating and drinking.

Take it a little bit easy.

It can kill you. I think you have to drink about 2 gallons at one time to die.
