Question

Is 5L of water to much to be drinking in one day?

Answer 1

I am a CMA

YES that is too much in a day... 1 gallon is suffice.. If you are drinking that much and you are not exercising to sweat it out and you are that thirsty than you should be tested for diabetes.. FYI you can get water intoxication which can ultimately kill you

Answer 2

Depends, on these summer days if you are under non air-contioned umm conditions or if you are previously dehydrated that might be okay. however do not ever do that for more than 1 day (few days in a row) unless you are in sports and your training needs the replacement. The reccomended amount is 8 glasses or about 2L-2.5L (half a gallon) per day Total (from foods aswell). try not to go over that, water poisoning is real.

Answer 3

unless you are a camel or an elephant that is far too much water to be drinking! As everyone else has said, thirst is the main symptom of diabete's. best get to a doc and get checked out

Answer 4

That is quite a bit.  If you're drinking that much because you're thirsty, you might want to get checked for diabetes; excessive thirst is one of the symptoms.
