I'd like to submit to Bad Science my teacher who gave us a handout which says that 'Water is best absorbed by the body when provided in frequent small amounts.' What I want to know is this. If I drink too much in one go, will it leak out off my arsehole instead? Thank you. Anton.

Most bloggers have no institutional credibility, and so they must build it, by linking transparently, and allowing you to easily double check their work.
