Total fluid intake depends on how active you are, the climate you live in, your health status. Water intake for men is roughly about 13 cups (3 liters) of total beverages a day.

Drinking excessive water can lead to loss of sleep as to get up in the night to go to the toilet and also cause kidney damage which control the amount of water, salts and other solutes and when drinking too much water in short period of time, the kidneys cannot flush it out fast enough and the blood becomes water logged and lead to fatal condition called hyponatraemia means insufficient salt in the blood causing swelling of the brain that can be disastrous which manifests as seizures, coma, respiratory arrest, brain stem herniation and death.
Severe cases of hyponatremia can also lead to water intoxication, an illness whose symptoms include headache, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, frequent urination and mental disorientation.
