ELI5- Dr. Told me drinking too much water destroys the metabolism. Is this true?

565 views

Yeah, I went to the doctor’s today and I was asked about my water intake. I drink about twelve bottles of water a day. I was told to drink less because that could cause bad kidney function and my metabolism to stop working. I never been to this doctor and can’t find anything online about this issue. Should I keep looking for a new doctor? Or am I just a bit ignorant on this?

Too much *anything* is bad for you. Too much water can kill you, too much food can kill you, too much oxygen can kill you… So yes, too much water can be bad though I don’t know if you need to drink less
