oh yeah - there's definitely a too much. This is an extreme and I don't
recall where I saw this. Some woman forced her daughter to drink so much
water that it killed the little girl. Not only do you need time to process
it, but too much will dilute important salts in our tissues and cause heart
failure, kidney failure, etc.. Yeah, that takes a lot but as with all
things - there's a too much and too little.

I probably drink about 50 ozs a day. sometimes less. rarely more. it's
enough for me but too little can happen easily when I get distracted and
forget to drink the stuff.
