I spied on my boyfriend

My boyfriend is just a normal guy just under 6ft tall and of average weight not fat and not to skinny
He doesnt drink alchol or tea or coffee, he only drinks water, but he drinks a lot of it
Over the last few days I've been spying on him and monitoring how much water he acctualy drinks per day
I read on a website that it is advisable not to drink more than six pints of water a day, so now I'm worried
Has my boyfriend drinks between ten and fourteen pints of water a day
Is he damaging his health, or will he be ok
Many thx for your help

helphetalaquaphosis could be a possibility. It is an addiction to the hydrogen and oxygen water bond.
It can also be a warning sign of diabetes.
It would be good to check in with a doctor to make sure nothing serious is going on.

10 - 14 pints is a hell of a lot of water - does he drink that much because he wants to or because he needs to - excessive thirst etc? I have heard that drinking too much water can be bad for you so it might be worth talking to him about it and maybe speaking to his DR if he says he feels that thirsty to drink that much.
