that's a lot of water... there is such a condition called hypo something or other - or water intoxication where you are drinking so much water, the sodium content in your body drops to low...

Studies I've seen says that you should drink:

Your body weight x .5 ounces (i think that number goes up to .7 if you are extremely active)
+ 16 oz if you live in a temperate area
= 16 oz if you are extremely active


Best way to tell if you are drinking enough water is to check the colorof your urine..it should be a pale yellow... too dark and you are dehydrated.
