My goal is to drink one gallon per day. I average 2 to 3 liters per day, in addition to anything else I drink during the day. Advantages: I feel that it helps my weight loss efforts, seems to have alleviated muscle cramps, and helps flush out excess toxins. Disadvantages: I spend a lot of time in the bathroom and most nights, I have to get up at night to go. I know that I should try to get in all of my water before 6 p.m., and I do try, but it is not always easy to do so. Even with the disadvantage, and it is huge, I feel and look better when I drink a lot of water.
I think that people have problems when they drink a lot of water in a very brief period of time, not when it is spread out over the course of a day.
