The amount of fluid that can be considered "too much" varies by individual, but generally, consuming more than 3-4 liters (about 13-16 cups) in a short period can overwhelm the kidneys and lead to water intoxication or hyponatremia, a dangerous electrolyte imbalance. Factors like age, activity level, and climate can influence fluid needs. It's essential to listen to your body and hydrate appropriately, especially during intense exercise or heat. If concerned about fluid intake, consulting a healthcare professional is advisable.
