We’re always told to drink more water—but is there such a thing as too much? Surprisingly, yes. While most people actually need to drink more, overhydration is a real (though rare) condition worth understanding. Let’s separate myth from fact.
1. What is overhydration?
Overhydration, or water intoxication, happens when you drink so much water that it dilutes the sodium levels in your blood. This can lead to nausea, confusion, and in extreme cases, more serious health risks.
2. Is it common?
For the average person, no. Most people don’t drink nearly enough water. Overhydration typically occurs in extreme endurance events (like marathons) when people consume huge amounts of water without replacing electrolytes.
3. How much water is too much?
It depends on body weight and activity, but consistently drinking more than 3–4 liters per hour can overwhelm your kidneys’ ability to filter water.
4. How to sip smart
-
Spread hydration evenly throughout the day.
-
Add electrolytes during long workouts or hot days.
-
Listen to your body—if you’re not thirsty, don’t force extra liters.
