Maybe if you drink it all at once. 5L/day is perfectly fine for everyone in the world. If you’re drinking more than 2L/hour, that’s a problem. So space it out and drink a liter an hour or two and you’ll be fine. In the US, that’s two gallons and is a ton of water.
It’s pretty common to see friends carrying a gallon jug around to make sure they drink their gallon a day.

- maleldil 5y agoI imagine it'd be really difficult to reach dangerous levels if you're drinking to satisfy your thirst. The only way I can see someone drinking more than 2L/hour is if they're forcing themselves to do so.
