I’m always encouraging everyone to drink a lot of water.  Water is important and when you’re losing weight, it’s essential.  Is it possible to drink too much water?  Yes.<\/p>\n

We heard the news that a jury awarded $16.5 million dollars in damages to the family of a woman who entered a Sacramento, California radio station water-drinking contest.  Called “Hold your wee for a Wii,” the radio station invited contestants to drink as much water as possible and not urinate.  Jennifer Strange, a mother of three entered to win a game console for her kids.<\/p>\n

She drank as much water as possible, some two gallons in a short time.  With a bulging belly, and complaining of severe pain, the radio dj’s allegedly laughed at her.  Callers on-air, expressed concerns and said it was dangerous. The contest went on.<\/p>\n

Yes, it is possible to drink too much water.  Jennifer died from water intoxication.<\/p>\n

How much is enough?  I drink at least 3 liters of water a day.  That’s a lot for some people, so I recommend a minimum of 3-6, 8 ounce glasses a day to my clients.  That’s not much.<\/p>\n

Here’s an article and video from ABC News<\/a> about Jennifer’s story, and the lawsuit.<\/p>\n
