regarding how much is too much.. quoting the article, "Extremely healthy kidneys would be able to process about 30 ounces (approx .9 liters) of water in an hour".. "The person with healthy kidneys could develop water intoxication by drinking about 2 to 3 times what the kidneys can process".. if you compute how much na iyang gipasabot, 0.9L/hour x 24 hrs/day x 2-3 = 43-65L IN A DAY.. kinsay d makuyapan ana kadaghan imnon? lisod na gani ang 4-5L/day..
