Master cleanse?

can I drink as much water as I want on the cleanse?Master cleanse?
The Institute of Medicine advises that men consume roughly 3.0 liters (about 13 cups) of total beverages a day and women consume 2.2 liters (about 9 cups) of total beverages a day.





Though uncommon, it is possible to drink too much water. When your kidneys are unable to excrete the excess water, the electrolyte (mineral) content of the blood is diluted, resulting in a condition called hyponatremia (low sodium levels in the blood). Endurance athletes 鈥?such as marathon runners 鈥?who drink large amounts of water are at higher risk of hyponatremia.
