I'm an
athlete I work out at least an hour a day with strength training. I never said he should drink a gallon a day, I was just telling him that I drink that much.
Yes, kidney stones are genetic. But literally every site I've ever visited says that kidney stones can be help prevented by drinking enough water and make sure to lose weight, and eat less meaty foods.
I've done research because i'm a health nut and a member over in the bodybuilding forums, I've done plenty of research on this stuff and 1 gallon isn't dangerous, that's just ridiculous. The only time drinking a ton of water is dangerous is when it's all at once cause then you can drown yourself. That's a fact, but sipping on water throughout the day is completely healthy. I drink 1 gallon throughout the day and I am a 150 lb 5'7 guy, and I tell you what man, I feel efing great!
Here's some sources for you ya little cutie!!

This is what happens when you enter one of those "radio contests" about drinking a gallon of water in a short amount of time... YES you can die, that is why you need to make that gallon last all day and constantly use the bathroom.

There's literally hundreds of more sources I just didn't feel like reading more and more cause they get repetitive at times, and I try and read all my sources before I source them.
Yeah, I don't know much about cocoa water, i'm sure it's fine. But water is free and abundant so I'm going to keep on drinking it. Keep it simple.
