Like ZEB, I am also interested. Please do provide study that support hi water consumption for non-kidney-problem athlete.[/quote]
likely aren’t any. we have decades of professional and amateur sports knowledge to know its always better to drink more than enough water than less than enough.
its a big statement about how our culture is becoming when people want double blind 2000 person studies to tell them about water consumption.
heres a tip: Play a sport for a few years. You’ll figure it out quick.
but better check about your kidney health before you overload your system continuously 7 x 24.
perhaps for bodybuilder who wants to get up on stage overdosing on water several times per year is ok.
but if your kidney condition is on the borderline (blood check for kidney function is not expensive) you are looking for trouble if you overload on daily basis.
e.g. normal creatinine level is 0.6 to 1.2, if yours is already 3.4 - I wouldn’t suggest consuming too much water other than what your doctor tell you. one doesn’t have to be on dialysis machine to have a kidney problem, there are several stages of kidney problem.

ZEB you are fucking retarded
your body easily regulates the amount of water it needs as long as you supply it. If you drink too much your body can get rid of it and if you don’t drink enough it can to some extent rectify it. It’s a lot easier to get rid of water than it is to not drink enough of it. So just keep regularly hydrating yourself and see what you need. for example if I know I am going to be stuck ina car for 2 hours i don’t drink beforehand or only sip and then rehydrate at the end of the car ride.
also ZEB show me a study that proves the sky is blue? and how can we be sure that all the studies out there aren’t just pop culture myths[/quote]
All ad hominem attacks aside. When you look up at the sky you can see that it is blue, that is called empirical evidence. Now where is the evidence which proves that drinking lots of water is good for you? There have been instances however which demonstrate that drinking too much water is bad for you. I know most of you really hate to have your world shaken but keep in mind that not too long ago there were hundreds of nutritionists lined up telling us that fat was bad and not to eat nuts because of the high fat content.
I’m merely questioning the current wisdom of the day. Try not to take it so personally.

its that simple.[/quote]
That at least makes some sense. When we sweat a great deal it needs to be replaced. But that was not the original assertion that I responded to.

Anyways, 1.5gal seems to be a good balance. 2 gallons is just annoying to drink. If I have 1 gallon I feel less energetic. I also notice that on a higher water intake, I look leaner when I wake up the next day. Cool.[/quote]
