Will drinking 8 LITERS of bottled spring water a day, every day KILL a person?

i'm surprised at the untruths some ATSers will make up just to make an extravagant memorable point or sound like a know it all.

i read that drinking 8 liters of water a day will KILL a person somwhere on ATS.

the first thing i thought - hmmm, my doctor recommended me to drink 6 liters a day everyday routinely, to help deal with my a slight salt retention problem i've always had.

i didnt find my doc's recommendation extreme, because most everywhere online i've always heard and read that its wideley recommended to drink at least 4 liters of water a day for good hydration, and even more when engaged in workouts/sports/hot weather etc.

so... how can drinking just 2 liters more daily, than recommended, KILL you? seriously? lol
