| My MIL sent me that older story with a note telling my that I’m an idiot for drinking water and that I should switch to Diet Coke all day like her. |

| I know this is a thing but that doesn’t sound like enough water to do it. I regularly drink 33 oz in 5 minutes. It’s not that much water. |

33oz in 5 minutes is only half as much as 64oz in 30min.
The article also underspecifies how much more water she drank, and doesn't mention if she ate any food or salt. Trying to drink away hunger all day is dangerous. |

| Her brother said she was boating all of 4th of July weekend. If boating = day drinking that kind of helps explain how her electrolytes were so off kilter. Very sad. |

Most of the come is full of old people. They've never heard of that. They've heard of acid or some marijuana or some crap like that |

What is "several" though. Are we talking 3? 5? Also are you petite? Do you eat dense foods? I would think these factors matter. |

Most people into fitness do. I drank a gallon a day for two years. It’s not unusual. There’s something more to this story. It should take gallons and no food… |
