If you CAN drink 8 glasses of water all at once, you're pretty amazing! I suspect most people would find that rather difficult. But to answer your question, it's better if your water consumption is spread out. If you drink more than you need at the moment, your body will tend to simply eliminate the excess, leaving you hydrated when you drink the water and dehydrated the rest of the time. Also, in drinking large amounts of water all at once, you may well flush vital trace elements and minerals out of your system. So even if you COULD drink all that water at once, do yourself and your body a favor, and spread it out through the day.

Spreading out is best since it has been said that drinking more than a litre of water at once can cause brain damage. I imagine it would leave most people rather distended as well. Meals are usually spread out throughout a day and this mantra applies to drink as well. A good way of getting 8 glasses daily could be to eat 4/5 small meals daily and drinking two glasses of water after each meal, for example. P.S. Membio - "it has been said". I wouldn't have added it to my answer if it applied in rare cases and I personally have no idea if it's true. I cannot scientifically prove that it can, but your persistence is intriguing - which authority do you cite?

you shouldn't, and to actually make it easier you don't need to drink 8 glasses a day. you need 64 ounces of water. my dad drinks 3 20 oz. bottles of water a day, and then a half a cup at night with his meds. it is easier because you can drink it as you go.

Having to drink that much water is a myth btw.

Thats about a Gallon.Thats not easy to do .I used to drink Gallons every day and the doc. told me its addicting cause it gives you a high,but drains your body of vitamins and newtrients.Its better to drink between meals,about 2 glasses.Dont drown,lol

if the solution surrounding you body cells contain less water then the cytoplasm, water would pass out the cells faster then it would enter then the cells would shrink and die, but if the opposite occured and you had too much water surrounding the cells then the cells would have a net gain of water and the cell would burst thats is why you cannot live without water for 2 days.

If you can drink 8 glasses of water consecutively I'll give you 20 bucks! I'd have to see it though.

You don't need to drink that much water in one go as you could make yourself sick.Spread them out throughout the day and I would recommend you up your intake to 10 glasses a day to feel more refreshed.
