It may harm you if you drink it all at once.. you definitely don't want to do that :o)
Doctors always seem to recommend large amounts of water that i don't think anyone ever follows, but if that's what they said, you should try for it! Try carrying around a water bottle with you and whenever you're bored just drink some. This is really good for your health and supposedly for clear skin too.

hello, you can drink up to f liters safely but at regular intervals. Do not take too much.
Around 2 to 3 liters is good for the body. In case of dehydration take more else it will be a burden to your kidney. I hope i have answered your query. Take care
