Does it matter?

I got one of those 64 oz water bottles so i would drink enough water. does it matter if i drink it all at once or before a certain time? i would like to have it all down by 6pm or i will be getting up all night.

TIA

Isn't that just called a tank?? Jes, when the water guy refills your water cooler, you're supposed to put it in the stand and use that little nozzle thing to pour smaller amounts into a cup!

You Texans just have to do everything big, don't you? :)

(and no, it doesn't matter if you drink it all at once. It's probably better if you don't, so your bladder doesn't get overloaded; give your tissues some time to absorb the water).
 
Thanks! i drank it all after BC! that will be my routine i think. all after wo, so i have the rest of the day to add "blasts" by running to the toliet!

I would think it would be difficult to drink all at one fell swoop! I'd feel all sloshy and full! Instead, try to drink regularly throughout the day, and just make sure your last drink is at 6.
 
LOL! thats funny Sandra.

And jes sweetie, any weight you have is oviously alot of fluid, drinking THAT much water

You must have that water "swooshing" and "girgling" around in your lower regions all night

If you drink it all at once aren't you're likely to "pee" it out all at once, too?

Now, if you were a potted plant, it probably wouldn't matter. :D

As far as I know it's truly better to drink smaller amounts throughout the day because you keep your body hydrated all day and you don't send a deluge through your digestive system all at once.

I'll see if I can find a more scientific answer for you. :)

If you drink it all at once, (not only is it uncomfortable & even dangerous) your body releases a hormone to diurese you. So it is better to spread it out throughout the day. Also, you'll get used to it & be able to hold it longer.

Well ya'll no me...i have never heard of moderation! haha marion! i can always count on you to be a wiseass! a trait that i value alot btw!! p.s. i don't drink gin. yucky stuff. it has always reminded me of Carole Burnett's character(Ms. Hannigan) in Annie.

Marla (both of you ) thanks for your answers. i did not mean i literally drank all of it in one gulp. it took me about 10 mins and a few swigs i did during bc.

Thanks for the potted plant comment also. i was LOL! dh says there are alot of witty women around "here" }( i concur.

and just so you all know, i finished that water many hrs ago and i am still going !x( i want to go to bed already!!

Jes,

That's still pretty much all at once, when you consider how many hours you're awake.

Marla gave great information (love having nurses on the forum!). Please take her advice. It does get easier to drink water. I started out not liking it, but now I actually love it. The first thing I have in the morning is a glass of water.

Give yourself time and it'll work for you. :)

Oh, she's not actually awake that many hours in a day; her boss won't give her any work, so she naps at her desk all day.

LMAO at the potted plant remark, Marla G. And here's your "scientific explanation":

"Drinkingus allofwateris willus maketh the bladderuficus explodicious."
