I was told by my Endo that one should drink not more than 6 oz of water
at a time, every 1/2 hour or hour.  His reason, the kidneys are about the
size of your ears and too much water at one time over works the kidneys
and they can not filter as good as they should.  So I drink a gallon a
day, but in small amounts throughout the day.  Also, I only drink room
temp water.  Cold water causes my stomach to cramp up.  Especially after
a workout.
