The trick about the water is that you don't drink it all at once. Some people hear this 8 glasses of water a day and try to force it but gulping it. I tend to drink almost that much just by having it handy when I'm home. I keep a bottle on my office desk at all times. I find sipping a bottle of water is better than snacking for me. I often snack just so my body has something to do while my mind is occupied, so sipping some water works just as well. But if you are to the point that you are forcing yourself to get the water in, then yes, you are getting too much. There is such a thing as too much water. And Quagmire is right, the 8 glasses a day rule is a myth. The truth is that it's different for everybody. People who are more active need more water because they expel more.
