You say in your original post that you had to drink many litres of water. Health experts (whoever they are) advise us to drink about 5 litres of water a day. You must have drunk far more than that in a much shorter time?

I know myself that when the weather gets really hot I drink about 8 litres of water and fresh fruit juice - it does bring down my body temperature, but it makes me pee a lot.

Your stream-of-consciousness style made it EXTREMELY difficult to
ascertain the facts.
I understand you're upset and that the warning might indeed be urgent,
but a more calm and reasoned post would have prevented me and
probably others from thinking until about halfway through that it wasn't
a wind-up. And the title was similarly misleading, given some of the
rubbish I and others usually post here.

You've found out the hard way that ANYTHING ingested in large
quantities can be dangerous; I'm surprised that a little more common-
sense and a smidgen of medical knowledge wasn't employed by your
producers.

Get well soon :- ))

not sure which health experts you are referring to but the figure of 5 litres a day is nonsense
(you might have read 8 glasses a day, which is generally regarded as 1/3 of a litre giving 2.4 per day)

no research has supported any of this 'drink at least two litres of water per day'
this myth has mainly been put out into the general Psyche (sp?) by the bottled water companies.

It was based on some work done in the 1950's which stated that in order for an adult to remian hydrated they should consume 2-2.5 litres of water per day
what they fail to add onto this claim (the bottled water people) is the second statement of the research which says

' the vast majority of this water will come from a normal solid food diet'

for example a steak is approx 70% water

Oh bugger! I've been trying to drink 5 litres of water a day for years, which is quite difficult to achieve - more litres if the weather's hot!

[diplodocus]

lol, don't think i'd ever find the time to drink 5 litres of water a day, imagine how bad your beer would taste too!!

hope you were using tap water and not paying loads for the stuff!
