Don't much drink. There will be psychigenic polydipsia. Just proper 2.5 -3 litres is enough have fruit juices.
Kindly consult if many other issues.

Yes, definitely drinking too much water is also not good to the body
It will disturb the electrolytes in your body, maybe thatvis resulting in excess urination
On an average drinking 2-3 litres of water per day is considered healthy
During winters we minimise it to 2litres and summers upto 4litres to 5litres in extreme heat
Next Steps
Consume fruit juices instead of drinking plain water
Health Tips
Anything that is taken in excess than required considered as poison
