      i mean i know you're supposed to be taking in a lot of water as well...but i mean having a gallon of milk in a day kind of takes away the ability, or makes it a lot harder, to drink water....

      Edit: GOMAD= Gallon Of Milk A Day

      ^Yup.

      Dunno why you'd want to do GOMAD though *shrug*
      Can think of more calorie dense foods that are far more delicious than milk.

      hehe just lookin to get in more milk. probably not a gallon a day.

      But there wouldn't be too high of an intake of calcium? is that even dangerous?
      also, being on creatine (needing lots of water/being hydrated) wouldn't be a factor of increasing milk intake over water...would it?

      Water is water. It doesn't matter whether it's bottled, comes from milk or is straight off the tap.

      The upper dosage of calcium is quite high, I can't remember the exact numbers. GOMAD will not exceed this, however.

      in a gallon of milk there's like 270mg of calcium or something? i thought i read somewhere that the limit should be 1.2-1.5g or else there can be issues... (what i read)

      Or is the limit higher....because i know as of now...im drinking at least 6 cups a day easy.

      DRI for calcium for 19-30 year olds is 1000-1200mg, a GOMAD is about 6200mg.

      I don't have any idea what the toxic dose of calcium is, that might be something to ask your doctor.
