I drink 3- 5 liters of water a day and have to piss every 20 minutes or so...

Does anyone else have this problem?

It will mellow out. Once your body gets used to the amount of water, you should slow down a bit. Be patient and keep up those levels to at least 4 liters, which is just over a gallon.

I drink well over a gallon a day and only go a handfull of times thru the day. Make sure to stop an hour before bed if you do not want to wake up and go in the middle of the night!!

I wake up in many times in the middle of the night independently of it, unfortunately.

Then stop drinking 2-3 hours before you go to sleep, it should be better then.

yes. i drink over 5 ltrs a day (i drink at least 2 when i get up in the morning)

3-4 liters of water per day really isn't that much.

[HERACLES]

This is only in the beginning. When I was guzzling water for my shows back in the day this would stop after a while- Your body just adjusts to it and you dont have to go to the bathroom like you are now.

Ans as per Squadfather, 3-4 Liters? Dude thats like one of those large Aquafina water bottles- i think its 1- 1.4 Liters... I drink like 3 of them when im training.. 4 liters is just over 1 gallon..i guess thats getting up there..

You drink 3 liters while training? Like 3/4 of a gallon??

How do you get a set done! I would burst water out my ass if drank that much while training. I only get 1-1.5 liters in while training...

[Go 4 It]

I drink between a gallon to 2 gallons a day, depending on how much cardio I'm doing, how much sodium I'm taking in, and how much alcohol I've consumed the night before..

[Necrosis]

drinking like a gallon of water during intense exercise is somewhat stupid from a health perspective. even bodybuilding wise

that's what i'm saying, that it's not that much, the way i look at it 3-4 liters IN A DAY is only two 2 liter soda bottles of water, that's not that much spread out over the COURSE OF A WHOLE DAY.

  I have a simple solution for your problem: stop drinking so much water. Your body doesen't need it. If it did, it would tell you by making you feel thirsty. There is no scientific evidence whatsoever that can lead to the postulation that one needs liters of water a day. Remember, for instance, that fruits and vegetables are fairly rich in water. If you're eating 10 servings or more of plant material a day, as you should, you  only need to drink a few glasses of water a day, at most.

You have more water a day than you think you do - at the moment I'm only take in 2-2.5 litres a day and I'm never dehydrated - my other liquid sources come from protein shakes mixed with milk, fruit, cups of tea etc. When you add all that up I'm probably taking in about 4 litres plus, but it's not pure water - I think people sometimes misinterpret it.

I drink a lot of water but I must say it's the Animal Pak multivitamins that make for an urgent trip to the bathroom after 40 or 45 minutes.

I dont know, I just sip after every set, out of habit..I counted all week its been 3-4 liters during the workouts..I just keep refilling my 1L aquafina bottle at the gym. My training partner comes in with a 1L bottle, and I dont know how the HELL he goes through the workout barely going through half of it..what a joke..

So does the amount of water you drink during a workout count toward the amount they drink in a day?

sweat is good. the more you sweat, the more you drink.  not just from workouts, but your everyday activities as well. such as are you active during work or sit behind a desk all day.  1gallon of water a day while weight training isn't hard.  and as far as your pee problem goes, don't break the seal dude. lol    you'll have to go after everybottle.

man drinking a gallon of water while intensely working out is probably safe but depending on how much you sweat and if you do drink more your asking for hypoatremia, hypokalemia.

i drink 3-5 liters of beer when i go out to a bar

its not that hard
