Water is good for your mental health too. If you drink a gallon of water per day, you wont have time for other people's drama because you'll be too busy peeing. Stay hydrated my friends. lol 🤣

Drinking Water is necessary and important, but such an amount can even harm the body.

Most surgical centers recommend a gallon of Water a day; it's not nearly enough to cause someone "harm".

A gallon is nearly four litres that is a lot of Water unless exercising intensively and/or living in a fairly hot climate.

From what I have seen in these forums for USA 64 ounces of fluids a day seem to be more the norm. 64 ounces is nearly two litres. Australia recommendation is generally two litres.

Apparently an adult with healthy kidneys can consume 20-28 liters of Water before they enter the danger zone, anywhere from 5-6 times the number you claim is "dangerous".

I didn't say anything was dangerous, I said its a lot, and I said I haven't seen anywhere on here aside from yourself who has ever said that bariatric surgeons recommend up to nearly four litres a day.

But please point me in the direction of anyone who has ever said they regularly drink 28 litres of fluids a day.

I never claimed anyone DOES drink that much, only that the four or so that you said was too much is perfectly safe. I apologize I didn't realize that you and the person upthread who said it was harmful are not the same person; maybe they'll see this too. Drink the amount you're comfortable with and so will I.
