# I have a hard time making myself drink water, so sometimes I just try to get it all in within a couple hours. But it got me thinking, does it help my body the same way as it would should I drink small amounts throughout the day.

Water intoxication happens when TOO much water is drank at once. Kidneys get overloaded trying to process the extra fluid and the salts in your blood gets diluted to the point that death can occur. There are warning signs but I doubt you would notice yourself. It is rare and I don’t know what amount of water can be drank safely. I assume it may depend on the person. Plus, your body does better with moderation (with most things) so drinking through out the day would be the best way to go. You could drink a glass of water for before and after a meal, so 2 cups of water with each meal. If you do that with the three meals, your hydration is handled.
