I love water. My mother calls me a camel, I drink 1-2 gallons a day. I never drank soda because anything carbonated gives me horrible hiccups. My weakness is juice, because I tend to drink juice like water and boy do those calories add up.

Never had any over-hydration symptoms. I wondered if I was diabetic and had other problems because I drank so much, but it seems I am fine. I carry a gallon bottle with me each day and just swig it all the time. With meals I tend to drink a few cups in a row, thats when I take my multivitamin but I am also more thirsty.

I love water, always have.

I find that I drink much less if I dont have a bottle with me or have to go and get water all the time. I just dont bother with it.

I think overhydration happens if you try and force yourself to drink water and too much of it at once.
