Nutrition Electrolytes
Posted in Health and Nutrition on 08/19/2010 07:26 pm by Steven Nerenberg
If I drink a gallon of water a day for 7 days, is there a chance it can be fatal?
I have a drug test exactly a week from today and am going to try my luck by drinking lots of water so that my kidneys temporarily stop expelling toxins in my urine and only expel water. This is the only thing I have heard of that works and PLEASE, the drug test has nothing to do my question, so I don’t need advice on that. I don’t want your opinions about my drug use either, only any answers you might be able to provide pertaining to my question.
Now, I took a nutrition class and learned all about electrolytes and what not. I know that over-hydration can flush them out or something like that. What constitutes as over hydration? I know that it’s not a good idea to drink the gallon in an hour’s time, so if I space it out over the course of 11 or twelve hours, should I be okay? Does my size factor into it at all? I am very small. 111 lbs to be exact. Should I drink less water because of my size?
Thank you for any help you can give 
It shouldn’t be dangerous to drink a gallon a day, as long as you are continuing to eat healthily. You won’t over-hydrate at a gallon a day. You can also drink cranberry juice (not cocktail!) or take cranberry pills to help. Hope everything goes well!
