How much water is too much?

How much drinking water would be too much? I’m trying to figure out if you could wash out the effectiveness of a medication by drinking a lot of water. If so how much water would it have to be? How much would be too much? I want to figure it out, because I’m afraid that I might have drank too much water.

Answer #1

You should try to stay around 3 cups of water an hour or less. Anything more than this will start to add water weight to your body.

A 28 year old drank roughly 2 gallons of water in around 3 hours and died from water intoxication.

Answer #2

I drank just a little over two 16.9 oz bottles of water in an hour. That’s what I’m trying to figure out, if its too much.
