From what I remember "Water Intoxication" requires you drink over a quart of water EVERY hour. I drink about 4 - 5 liters a day... and some consider that excessive. I have no idea how I could ever drink a quart every hour. I will try to find the information I read, but for the most part the behaviour was observed among people with obssessive/compulsive disorders who had been institutionalized.

The amount recommended for LC (64 oz plus 8 oz for every 25 lbs you want to lose) does not constitute excessive.
