I have to agree on this one.
One early evening a couple of years ago I followed some idiots advice at the VA Medical Center that I was **94** too much water and ice tea and that I should ease off a bit.
He proclaimed that if I continued to drink too much fluids and that I could damage my kidneys.
After about 2 weeks later I was in severe pain and at the time all I knew that I was pissing blood and dark urine.
When I told the ER doctor what I had been told he shook his head in disbelief and I was lucky that the damage the stones did was bad, but not a life or death situation.
There was no pain at all when I passed the stones though.
I had always thought that it would be very painful passing them, but I did okay in that step.
By the way I have returned to **94** water, coffee and iced tea without any ill effects at all.
