The danger of too much water.
I’ve posted before that the whole idea of having to have 8 glasses of water a day is a myth. In the primal blueprint there is also no need for so much water.
It all sounds nice and theoretical….until you see a story like this:
A mother died after drinking four litres of water in under two hours, an inquest has heard

Absolutely (in response to is it okay?)
No (no danger from drinking that much water)
I commend you for wanting to quit smoking, I wish my hunny was ready to..but he's not..so in the meantime, my health suffers as well
And its so hard to drink that much water, but as you said, you drink it everytime you want to smoke..so you must've chain smoked before!lOL. Coming from someone who tries to get as much water into her as possible, and who has quit smoking successfully by doing this, you are just fine!
Congrats on your decision

The amount of water you are drinking is okay. There IS a unsafe amount of water and I'm not sure how much it is but i know that it is alot. I saw on television one time that some people in college that were pledging a fraternity were drinking VERY large amounts of water because they had heard the dangers of drinking alcohol and they thought water was safe but too much water will mess up your electrolytes and can kill you. But your safe.. good luck on the smoking thing.
