I will now roast Tom Brady.
“Fuck you Tom Brady! AHAHAHAHAHA”
Roasted.
This comment is brought to you by “The Roast of Tom Brady”. Only on Netflix. Go fuck yourself Tom Brady.
Some might say you “slammed” him.
For an athlete sweating a lot maybe 37 cups is good for him
Idk, one of the articles references two high school football players who died from over hydration. Didn’t say how much they drank but it does go to show that you can over hydrate even with a lot of exercise.
Also he’s the quarter back, does he actually do that much strenuous exercise? Yeah he probably has to do some sprints to remain agile but he doesn’t need to run that fast or for that long, he just needs to make quick decisions under pressure and throw well. He’s not a marathon runner or anything like that.
Professioneel athletes typically require insane things from their body. You shouldn’t underestimate how much these guys do in terms of exercise. At the same time, they should realise that their nutrition regime (incl. hydration ) is wrong for everyone who is not a professional athlete.

I’ve no idea what 37 cups equates to.
I drink 2.5 liters a day.
This summer working in extreme heat WITH physical activity, I roughly doubled that.Google says 8.7 liters (also I am in no way trying to defend Brady I just made an offhand comment about how maybe it’s plausible, I didn’t even consider how much water 37 cups is I just figured professional athlete sweating up a storm)
I used to have practices where I’d routinely drink 168 oz (a full 40 oz bottle plus a gallon of refills) over the course of a couple hours. 37 cups is a gallon more than that. It’s enough water to cool off about another 2000 kCal of exercise.
I wonder if he’s still throwing down 4-6 megacalorie days now that he’s retired.
Doubt it
well, too much water can actually lead to death or coma (trust me, I saw a video on this!)
That’s why I specifically included the case where I thought that much water might be alright (because you’re losing a lot of water sweating)
You also lose salts sweating, so if you drink water, sweat, and don’t replace salts in your blood the inside now saltier parts of your body (like your brain) can pull water out of your blood and swell up, and your brain is trapped in your skull and has nowhere to expand to. Even if you lose lots of water sweating you can still get edema from too much water. You also lose water to respiration which doesn’t take salts with it.
I’ve never been super careful about it exercising. I just drink only when I’m thirsty, and hate the taste of gatorade, so if gatorade tastes good I drink that until it doesn’t, and if it doesn’t taste good and I’m thirsty I drink water. Or if my pee isn’t clear I drink water.
Water poisoning is a whole thing. You gotta make sure you’re eliminating water you’re drinking at a healthy rate before you consume even more water.
So I’m supposed to be measuring my pee?
37 cups is 8.75 Liters, according to Wolfram Alpha.
A woman died in 2007 after drinking 6.5 liters during a contest held by a radio station.
It’s important to note that she was also trying to hold in all of her urine. Refusing to pee when your bladder is in pain is a really bad thing to do!
Odds are he doesn’t actually drink that much. At the time he was selling electrolytes and if he can convince people to drink more water then they’ll buy more electrolytes to put in that water.
Dead people don’t buy electrolytes tom!
There are no consequences for rich people saying stupid shit like this.
Now we know how water wars will begin.
That’s how Bruce Lee died
Someone get this man a radio show!
I’m sure Spotify has a 9-figure contract ready for him to sign.

Maybe he’s splashing half of it on his head or something?
Overhydration
I feel like 37 glasses of water should technically count as drowning
