Woman drinks 6 gallons of water a day.

From the article: "Drinking too much water can be dangerous; it can lead to water intoxication, or hyponatremia, in which there is not enough salt in the body's fluids outside the cells. Both conditions can lead to serious health problems, and even death."

An ex of mine had this happen. He drank several gallons of water a day, and started having chest pains. Your heartbeat is regulated by an electircal impulse that requires sodium as a chemical transmitter. He had depleted his body's sodium reserves, and was on the verge of a herat attack due to his excessive consumption of water.

Some woman died on a radio show from drinking too much water. It was a contest to see who could drink it the fastest or something along those lines. Everything in moderation, including the necessities!

That woman though, man that's a lot. I'm surprised she doesn't have to keep a salt lick around.

I agree with Phoenix.  It's not healthy to drink that much water.  I didn't go on to read the next article so I'm not sure if she has suffered from drinking too much.

Im lucky if I can get in 20 ounces in these days.

Ithink drinking a lot of water is good but that much is def not sounding good at all

Hmm, that is excesssive.  I probably drink a gallon of water per day.

This was my first thought.  The article said that on average, she uses the restroom 40 times a day!   She might as well just stay in the bathroom permanently.

 I remember that. I think it was to win a Wii.

I am lucky if I drink a few cups of water a day. If I REALLY force myself then I will do about 8 cups a day.
