I thought "not drinking" too much water caused kidney stones.

:sigh: these hospitals, but of course! they want you unwell, so you go to them for treatment, and pay them MOOLAH!!!

however the "quality" of potable water also matters

I'm also heard that if you not drink enough then there will be kidney stones.

Tech.Masti · 22-06-2011, 02:09 PM

doctors in TV's health program or local doctor/Homeopathy doctors etc. heard everywhere that we need to take minimum of 2L water everyday.....

pulkitpopli2004 · 22-06-2011, 02:19 PM

study says that "Fluid intake should be sufficient to maintain a urine output of 2 to 3 litres per day." so water consumption should be arnd 4-5 L per day

**asingh** · 22-06-2011, 02:50 PM

Just have a can/bottle of beer a day. All will be well.

Drinking 2-4 L is the normal limit...too little...u run the risk of supersaturating the urine--->crystallization,stone formation....

Too much....u run the risk of water intoxication or dilutional hyponatremia( which may actually be fatal if not treated emergently)....

Judiciousness is the name of the game

And I used to feel weird because i am the only one in my peer circle who doesn't drink or smoke.

Friends tease me at parties just because i don't even agree to have a beer.
