I drink tons of water, I try and drink my 32 oz bottle once an hour when I'm working. I feel more productive for two reasons because I do this: 1. I'm not dehydrated, 2. it forces me to get up to use the restroom a lot more than usual. This forces me to have lots of mini breaks almost every hour or so to walk and fill up my bottle and use the restroom.
- ramraj07 8y agoYep let's overwork our kidneys to learn the guitar edit: seriously though I'm pretty sure that's not good for you. That sounds actually being in the ballpark of water poisoning.
- veryworried 8y agoHe’s fine. A typical developer’s true work day is probably all of one gallon.
- Someone1234 8y agoYou may wish to go see your doctor, that doesn't seem normal (excess fluid consumption can be a sign of diseases like diabetes). And more worrying you're bordering on water intoxication at 32 oz/hour: > Your kidneys can eliminate about 5.3-7.4 gallons (20-28 liters) of water a day, but they can't get rid of more than 27-33 ounces (0.8-1.0 liters) per hour. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/318619.php https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/318619.php Also, you don't need 8 glass of water a day, that is a myth, you should listen to your body[1].

- mrob 8y agoThere are only 24 hours in a day, so how it is possible to eliminate 28 liters in 24 hours without exceeding 1 liter per hour?
- PinkMilkshake 8y agoPresumably your body uses or stores some of it.
- narag 8y agoSweat. The comment above was about kidneys only. Try this: weight yourself before and after sleep.
- hnuser123456 8y agoYou're also breathing in your sleep, exhaling carbon, which is normally how you lose weight anyways.
- seeker_ 8y agoBody needs water so it doesn't have to eliminate all that it gets! Do you think we drink water to rinse our internal organs?
- aiisjustanif 8y agoWhy do you think they call it a liquid "cleanse" diet.
- seeker_ 8y agoIf you mean detox diet then water may be a part of it but it is not a detox diet itself.
- trillic 8y agoI appreciate the concern and am aware of the dangers that come with over-hydration. It's a 32oz bottle but I probably put about 16oz of ice in it, and the water is ice cold so most of the ice doesn't melt. I also don't necessarily do it every hour on the hour, it's just a habit that I've found helps me stay focused.
- farahday 8y ago> I try and drink my 32 oz bottle once an hour when I'm working. Seriously, how do you get any work done? Thats like a sip every 30 seconds.
- PaulBGD_ 8y agoI refill my 26 oz water bottle about once every hour. It's not about sipping, I drink about a third or fourth of the bottle every time I pick it up.

- erklik 8y agoI have a habit of continuing to drink when I have a glass of water in my mind. It refreshes my mind. So everytime I pick up the bottle, I drink nearly half of it just because it completely refreshes me. So, its not really sipping but massive gulps every 10/20 mins or so.
- a13n 8y agoTake bigger sips
- hanniabu 8y agoI have never gone to the doctor for this, but I'm pretty sure I have ADD and funnily enough I think I am able to concentrate way better when I'm dehydrated. Being on an empty stomach also seems to help. Anybody know if there's an scientific reason for this?
- 8456523 8y ago>Being on an empty stomach also seems to help There might be microbes (bacteria) in your gut (intestines, etc) that produce toxins that dull your thinking when they have food.
- arvinsim 8y agoThe gut-brain connection do seem to be true on my end. I am always careful to avoid carbohydrates when I am starting work that is concentration heavy.
- OnlyLys 8y agoI have a similar carbohydrate problem too. If I have more than a small amount of carbs in one sitting, my mind will get hazy and I'll get really sleepy an hour or so later. I did a blood test recently and everything was OK, so I'm really not sure what the problem is. And funny thing is that I don't seem to have this problem with quick sugars. I could have ice cream and chocolate and not crash at all.
- jmauritz 8y agoMixing tryptophan heavy foods (chicken / salmon / cheese / nuts) with carbs is gonna make you crash / sleepy. Same thing with salted + carb heavy food, as the body starts putting on water (dry mouth, drinking loads, puffy + tired)
- RickJWagner 8y agoI'm the other way. If I'm hungry, I'm thinking about food all the time. A key for me is to keep snacks on hand that aren't too bad for my health.
- astonex 8y agoThat seems like way too much water and surely bad for your kidneys.
- chimpburger 8y agoDangerous. You can die from water intoxication. It is an extremely painful way to die. Brain swells and is crushed by your skull https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_intoxication https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_intoxication
- aiisjustanif 8y ago32oz per hour?!?! Holy crap man, you are literally a human fountain.
