What is the maximum amount of liquid that one person can safely intake per day?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

This is known as hyponatremia and is more common than I was aware of. Many of the deaths due to people taking drugs such as ecstasy are in fact due to people drinking large amounts of water while taking them. Long distance runners can also suffer from this....

Its hard to work out what the 'toxic' level of water is however as it will depend on the person, temperature, state of health and how quickly the water is drunk.

For some, a one time consumption of six pints (three liters) can prove deadly. Although the person consuming the water may lose a lot of fluid due to perspiration during heavy labor or exercise, the electrolytes are not replaced fast enough to avoid water poisoning.

I was asking for a maximum intake per day, I mentioned that I knew the recommended intake, I wanted to know if there were dangers due to intake of water. I have since found the answer, go here to get further info on just how dangerous overdosing on water can be.

One liner answers are not acceptable to me. I knew the recommended daily dose but wanted to know if there was a danger of overdosing. In fact I have found that there is. Go here for more information.
