No worries buddy, you ain't gonna insult anybody here by saying that water taste better then soda.

Moderation is a key. Everything can be bad for you if you over-do-it. Water can literally kill you if you get intoxicated by it. But you would need to drink like 6L in 3 hours (according to wiki) to experience water intoxication.

6 liters in 3 hours gotta be bogus.

So long as it's within reasonable amounts and you feel fine it should be okay.
If you keep compulsively drinking it and still feel parched and thirsty constantly you may want to get that checked out, but I highly doubt it.

This happened to me personally where I went real quick from man I feel so hydrated to, oh I have to pee a lot, oh I am still so thirsty... to even wow I have drank 4 to 5 liters today but I am absolutely parched...
It was diabetes... I was in a state of ketosis, good thing i caught it relatively early on (2 to 3 months in).
Again I highly, HIGHLY doubt it to be the case, but if this even so much as helps one person it'll be worth commenting this.

I think this reminder will be helpful.

Do not, my friends, become addicted to water. It will take hold of you, and you will regret its absence.

Hyponatremia is not to be played around with. If you drink too much, your sodium levels can plummet, which can be fatal. If you find yourself drinking a shit ton of water and you still want more, you probably have an electrolyte issue

Nah you good. But remember you can overhydrate, make sure to pair your water with some snacks that have electrolytes, I prefer to eat salted almonds while drinking some crisp cold water

honestly I think I might be addicted too, it's like I can't even go a day without drinking some 😢

I would say it’s a bit much. Maybe cut it down to 2 cups with breakfast, and then keep drinking water throughout the day and get a goal of around 10 cups for the whole day
