Most people don’t drink enough water, but some of you—you overachievers—are out there hitting the opposite wall. The symptoms are real: headaches, bloat, fatigue, and clear pee. If you have all of these, you might be drinking too much. The fix isn’t complicated. Eat a pickle, drink less, and maybe take a break from that Instagram hydration challenge.
Also, here’s a shocking fact: you can actually die from drinking too much water. It’s rare, but it happens. So, unless you’re running a marathon in the Sahara, you probably don’t need that third gallon. Stay hydrated, sure—but keep your cells salty, your head clear, and your bladder on a reasonable schedule. Now, go take a normal-size sip.
