I'm the same way! I drink tons of water for various reasons. First, I don't have any other options really for stuff to drink, I'm rigid about avoiding caffeine and alcohol, and I'd rather eat fruit than drink fruit drinks. Plus, I work in a really busy call center where I'm on the phone for 8 hours straight, and my throat gets so dry! I probably drink close to 6 litres a day too, and I have had people (although not a doctor) say that it may be too much. I really don't know whether it is or not, but I wouldn't think drinking Gatorade all the time would be better for you...I'm pretty sure the body needs plain water

Here's an article I found on hyponatremia (water intoxication) that you could read if you want: http://www.emedicine.com/emerg/topic275.htm
