A gallon throughout the course of a day will not harm an adult.

Indeed. I drink between a gallon and two gallons every day, depending on how active I've been. According to my doctors, it's perfectly safe. I'm fairly certain water intoxication only hits at pretty absurd amounts.

No, just in a very short time frame. You probably don't chug two gallons straight up, but if you'd did it'd be super dangerous. Even one gallon could be dangerous if chugged.

1.5 gallons in 3 hours might kill you. 1 gallon throughout the day, especially if you are very active, is harmless.
