The body will get used to the extra fluid intake and within a week or so, your should be all set.
The important thing to remember that the amount of fluid intake you should have a day is based on the individual person. The old rule eight 8oz glasses of water a day has no scientific studies to back it up. A guidline that has been suggested that takes into account the person. Simply put, it should be enough fluid to cause bathroom breaks every two hours. Notice that is it not water, but fluid. Coffee, tea, fruits, soups, etc all add to the daily fluid intake.
Can you take in too much fluid a day? Yes and no. No because a normal healthy individual is able to cope with normal amounts of fluid intake. Yes if you have heart problems, but a cardiologist would have already discussed this with you. And yes if you drink like a gallon or more all at once, typically resulting in death. You hear about this everyone once in a while on the news, college frat hazing.
Hope this helps.
