can you get ill from drinking too much tap water? in the past 3 days i've drunk about 16 litres and my belly feels really strange, my friend said that you can get really ill cos its got all sorts of chemicals in it used to clean it that are alright in moderation. i wasn't sure weather to believe her or not cos i felt a bit naive just accepting it
i've always had to drink loads cos i had lots of problems with my kidneys a few years ago, but do you think im drinking too much?
(i know this should be in health, but i want a quick answer)
thanks

probably your system need more time to filter it etc so im sure it should be ok
go to your doctor if your really worried tho
well of course you bloddy can ...it's water! what is wrong with you young people ...god invented water for washing things in. and for turning into wine of course ...oh and relaxing and swimming in and things.
not for drinking you great pudding.
Some guy died a few weeks ago from drink a load of water. They couldn't tell how much, but since then they have been saying be more weary about it.
lol
I you could probably kill yourself if you drunk too much water, go easy on the water. I think yesterday I drunk about 2 litres you're average more then 5.
No, they have always been friends. No reason for them to disagree.
Scare the life out of her why don't you! Thats just too much to drink, thats probably what it is. You should be having around two litres a day and no more. If you still feel ill tomorow, go along to the doctors for some reasurance. If you feel so thirsty that you need to drink all that water, or you drink quite a lot normally, it might be worth talking to your doctor about a diabetes test as drinking lots and peeing lots are signs of that condition. If you don't usually drink that much and the feeling goes away, don't worry and stick to your two litres a day and you should be fine:)
