Find out why she's drinking 2 gallons a day.

I work as a welder. I sweat a lot. I'm very large, still. I never need more than 1.5 gallons in a really bad day.

I actually appreciate this thread. I am so sorry for Bass's wife.

I too drink not-distilled but filtered pure water. I figure tap water is pretty dirty. However, I take natural salts.

Afraid of bad tasted heavy metal induced water. But, filtering minerals is not so good either, I guess.

Drinking 2 gallon or 2 litters of water was (still is?) once a big thing among women. For diet and health. I used to do that too.

I read an Eastern med doc's book that explains drinking a lot of water is not necessarily good and changed my habit.

So, 2 liters is a half gallon. Then, 2 gallons will be 4 liters. That is a lot.

I think filtering your water is necessary, but... Re-mineralizing it is also better for your body. Water that is too pure, especially when one is drinking that much water, can dilute your blood enough to be deadly.
