Water

[Bazile]

Is it harmful to drink too much water in one go - i.e. 4 small mugs ?

exactly ummm I barely drink a litre of fluid a day

I'm currently following the advice of a both a kidney consultant and a GP, who agree that 3 to 4 litres per day is the target to aim for. (Not just for me, who ended up in hospital with kidney problems earlier this year, but for everyone).

So I start my day with a pint of squash followed by two mugs of tea and then I monitor the colour of my urine throughout the day to check that I'm not falling below my target of 7 pints (4 litres) of fluid.

ummmm @13.15 sums the situation up accurately.

I know that drinking one and a half litres of Perthshire's best tap water with added ice cubes is not a good idea last thing at night.
