I have been drinking anywhere from 280-340 oz of water a day is this a good thing or a bad thing and if good what does it do
What does drinking massive amounts of water do for you?

As long as you aren't concerned with having to run to the urinal every so often; the more water you drink, the better.
A large % of muscle consists of water (not sure of the exact figure), and, more importantly, if you are on a high protein diet and/or taking supplements such as whey and creatine, you need to be drinking more water to reduce the strain on the kidneys & liver and to flush all the impurities out of your system.
Drink up!

Drinking lots of water is commonly espoused in weight loss regimens and is regarded as healthy; however, few systematic studies address this notion. In 14 healthy, normal-weight subjects (seven men and seven women), we assessed the effect of drinking 500 ml of water on energy expenditure and substrate oxidation rates by using whole-room indirect calorimetry. The effect of water drinking on adipose tissue metabolism was assessed with the microdialysis technique. Drinking 500 ml of water increased metabolic rate by 30%. The increase occurred within 10 min and reached a maximum after 30-40 min. The total thermogenic response was about 100 kJ. About 40% of the thermogenic effect originated from warming the water from 22 to 37 C. In men, lipids mainly fueled the increase in metabolic rate. In contrast, in women carbohydrates were mainly used as the energy source. The increase in energy expenditure with water was diminished with systemic beta-adrenoreceptor blockade. Thus, drinking 2 liters of water per day would augment energy expenditure by approximately 400 kJ.Therefore, the thermogenic effect of water should be considered when estimating energy expenditure, particularly during weight loss programs.

Not to piss on the parade, but in rare cases it is possible to drown yourself by drinking too much water. My wife is a marathon runner and I recall reading several articles in running magazines about racers who dropped dead from taking in too much H20.
It will probably never effect 99.99% of people, even if you drink 3-4 gallons a day - but just be aware...

There is a quite well known case of this here in the UK. A young girl had a bad turn on Ecstasy, So she started drinking lots of water to straighten herself out.

the more water I drink the more I can eat. and I find it makes me look shredded. this is probably due to the fact that it speeds up your metablism. 17 ounces of water drinkin 30-45 minutes prior to excercise will boost your metabolism by 33%. I read this in Flex.

Hello everyone, Just wondering what your thoughts are on cold verses room temp water? What's better and why? Thanks

Ive read somwher that mildly cold water is better than room temperature. I cant remember why though.
