Actually yes, you can become over hydrated...I am a 4th year nursing student and we have had a whole lecture on over hydration. Not only does your body need water, your body also needs electrolytes and sodium to balance out the water. The new guidlines that are out state that you should be drinking half your body weight in water a day. (in ounces of course) SO for example..if you weigh 170 lbs you should be drinking 85 ounces of water a day.

I used to believe that water made you gain weight because of water gain but it dosen't. My mom always told me if you ever get hungry and want to lose weight, get a big cup of water and gulp it down. You will fill full when you're done.

it is almost impossible to drink too much water. In order to do that you would have to drink like 3 or 4 gallons of water. If you tried you would throw up and pass out before you would be able to drink that much. Don't worry about drinking too much water. Most people are smart enough to stop drinking water when they feel like they are going to burst and are in an incredable amount of pain. Not to mention you would be peeing faster than you could drink.
