10 Myths Busted – #3

I can’t tell you how glad I am to hear this is a myth!  My bladder is bad enough without throwing 64 oz. of water at it every day!  I did have a little bit of an issue with this myth though, because in the article it implies that it’s okay to drink gallons of water a day.  There IS such a thing as water intoxication, and it can kill you.  So, just follow your thirst.  All things in moderation, right? 

From the Family Fun Magazine, February 2008 issue.

    I just have a 64 oz jug in my backpack that I make tea and lemonade every so often. Usually every two or three days.

    So much water do you drink?…

    Vanessa talks about how much water you’re supposed to drink everyday. I keep a 64oz jug in my backpack and make tea or lemonade every so often. Usually every other day.So how much water do you drink during the day? ……

    Dr. Mike, you’re always welcome to sound off. Just to answer your question, I usually go through a couple of 20 oz. bottled water containers of something — either flavored water, sugar-free Kool-Aid, iced tea — a day. Not for any reason other than I enjoy it and get pretty thirsty.
