If you're having problems drink that much water, try buying or renting an upright water cooler.

Always having cold, great tasting water around is a surefire way for you to up your water intake.

Too much water thins your blood and is bad for you. I would suggest drinking only when your body says that you need to.

really? so what the bloody hell are we supposed to drink. are u saying 4L is bad? or more then 4L is?

He's not saying 4L is bad - he's saying there is a limit to how much water a day you can drink. The condition he was referring to is known as hyponatremia, aka water intoxication. The kidney can process up to 15L of water per day, but it doesn't mean it's safe to drink that much. (Or even 4) There's no need to force-feed water down your throat - you drink it whenever your thirsty, while you're working out, and at meals, which should be sufficient enough to keep you from being dehydrated

Agreed - unless I'm working out, my water always has to have ice - it just tastes 10x better and I can down a couple glasses easily

yeah, 4L is nothing really, especially when you're working out, a gulp here and a gulp there really can and does add up.
