If that's what they told you here -> http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=3669171 ...

You don't say how much you weigh... while safe, that's a lot of H2O ...

14x500mL = 7L = ~1.75gal

Assuming the OP is an adult, approximately 180lbs, that wouldn't be a tremendous amount of water to be drinking for an active male during the summer. While he'd be peeing all day, it wouldn't necessarily be unsafe - unless, of course, he drank it all at once like that idiot did to win a video game console a year back.

If it is very hot and you are very active, that is not an unreasonable amount to drink in one day. However if you are lifting weights a couple hours a day and aren't sweating buckets throughout the day, that is quite excessive. Unless you are marathoning or working on a chain gang, you don't need that much water.

When I was on creatine and whey I was drinking nearly 2 and half gallons a day. I stopped and I'm down to around a gallon and a half right now. I wanna get it down to a gallon though, I should probably just buy a little jug that measures out to a gallon, fill it every night and make sure it is polished off by the time I go to refill it that evening.

I think I am consuming too much water too.

I consume around 40 oz. at breakfast, then another 40 pwo (about 1 hour after breakfast), then another 40 oz. w/ 3rd meal, 40 more oz. w/ dinner and a few more throughout the evening. This does NOT include the 2-3 cups of black coffee and green tea I have during the day.

When I was drinking 2.5 gallons a day I was pissing like a race horse every hour or so, it was basically completely transparent too.
