6-8 liters is a bit on the high side. Usually too much water is only a problem if your diet lacks sodium. If you really are just incredibly thirsty all the time one of the diabetes is a pretty common cause

Well I really hope I don't have diabetes. I doubt it, I mostly drnk a lot to stay awake when working weird shifts or whatever. It only really happens if I drink a lot in a short period, I guess I will try not doing that. I've been drinking a lot of water since boot camp, it is just habit now. But the headache thing is relatively new.

I think the thought here is that if you drink a lot of water in a short time period your kidneys will have trouble keeping up. Whether or not that gives a person headaches I don't know. Not a doctor, but I have watched a lot of ER.
Other signs of diabetes would be blurry/loss of vision, tiredness, frequent urination, extreme hunger (mccheese), slow to heal cuts/bruises, and weight loss.

Outside of the sodium, if your kidneys can't handle all the extra fluid you end up with swelling in your ankles/calves and possibly into your lungs if it gets bad enough. That doesn't happen very often unless you're old or in very poor health.

When's the last time you saw an optometrist? Even if you don't have noticeable vision problems, there could be something going on with your eyeballs that is related to the headaches. Even if you don't wear glasses, it's a good idea to go see one every 3-5 years to get checked out.

Pretty sure you mentioned elsewhere you were working an early shift or a different one.
Maybe you're just tired?
You might notfeeltired, but if you're forcing yourself past the normal mechanism, then you just might be ignoring it.
It could be stress too, lord knows you've been aggressive on the forum lately.
8 liters of water is a shit ton, that's more than 2 gallons in a single day. You don't even need to drink 1 gallon per day unless you're sweating heavily.
Not once has anyone ever died from dehydration during the Boston Marathon according to my google-fu. Several have died from over-hydration.
The New York Times Study Cautions Runners to Limit Their Water Intake
Those who drank 3 liters of water during the race (over the span of 4 hours)were found to have dangerously low sodium levels in their blood. You're potentially drinking twice that, every single day.

Not every day, 8 liters was a pretty heavy day I would say. Typical is more like 4-6 probably. I may be overestimating, because I drink a lot of tea also and I was trying to include that in the total. That day that I posted that I do believe I drank about 8 liters, though. I have a 1 liter water bottle and I drank 4 of those at work, I drank about 1.5-2 liters of tea and then another 24ish oz of water in between school and the gym. Plus a little more right after workout, probably less than 8 oz.
But yeah I have decided to pretty much chill with the drinking fluids shit before I die from being too retarded to drink water right.

You're drinking a lot.. it's something you might want to bring up to a doctor. Even if you don't think you got the betes, it could be something else.

If I had diabetes I am sure I would have more symptoms than drinking a ton of water to stay awake at night. It is just a thing I picked up in boot camp back when they forced us to drink 10-12 canteens per day, it works, so I've done it ever since. I can't think of any other common thread with these headaches that I was getting so I thought it might be that. idk, I've backed off (drinking maybe 4-5 liters per day) and I haven't had any headaches since last week.

To be fair, when you sweat you lose sodium so people running a marathon isn't a great example. You can actually see salt crystals on people who push themselves too hard running marathons and get low on sodium.
If you've been drinking that much for many years then it's probably not diabetes, or it's the slowest progressing diabetes ever
