Did you know it's possible to drink too much water?

Asked by Dutchess_III (46827points) September 10th, 2014

During a routine check the Dr. found that my sodium levels were low. He asked how much I drank during the day. I told him I have a 32 oz Diet Coke in the morning and then keep that cup filled with ice and water throughout the day. I also drink about 5 beers a night.

He told me to back off all the water and cut down on the beer. So I did. I have one 32oz drink a day, and about 3 beers, and my levels are normal.

Low sodium can be very bad.
