I'm trying to be healthy and drink enough water because at the moment I drink about 1 glass of fluids a day.
Yesterday I drank about a litre of water and it gave me splitting headaches.
Does anyone know why this might be? It always seems to happen when I drink water and I'm trying to lose some fat so I figure a good way is to make little changes like drinking more water.
Any help? It happens whenever I drink any fluids, not just water, which is probably why I don't drink anywhere near as much as I should.

I'm aware its not healthy, hence why I'm trying to change it 
I drink its sort-of gradually. I have this thing (I don't know if its a medical thing or just the way my brain works) where I just don't ever get thirsty, so when I'm busy I'll forget to drink. Yesterday I drank a 250ml glass in the morning, carried a 500ml bottle round school with me, (so drank is gradually) and then had another 250ml glass in the evening.

Headaches are usually caused by dehydration and the body not having enough fluids to maintain its normal capacity. Weird that it was the opposite for you.

If your urine is very pale or even colourless you're overhydrated which can be just as dangerous and again, give you headches.
Find out what category you fit into and adjust your water intake accordingly. You're aiming for a pale yellow urine colour.

That's really unusual - I'm no Dr House but I would guess that your headaches are either nothing to do with the water (i.e. they're just a coincidence that they happen when you drink) or there's something in the water your drinking. I'm not saying maybe your tap water is poisonous or anything, but you could just be sensitive something in the water, especially if its from a tap.

Looks like a trip to your doctor then because it's fairly possible that something else is to blame. Normal water intake shouldn't cause headaches.

I think that you should go to the doctors because if not being able to drink enough water without headaches stops your body from geting adaquate water, then you could became very ill in the summer now its getting hotter.

I'm thinking I may have to grin and bear it for a week or so, maybe I have an intolerance to the water or something? It might just occur for the first few days then dissipate. I've tried drinking lots of water before but it always happens and I give up after a day or so because it makes me feel horrible

Clear urine isnt overhydrated and isnt dangerous. Its sufficiently hydrated and desirable.
Tastes better too.

It isn't a definitive answer it could be on the verge of optimum hydration, equally it could be on the verge of overhydration and potentially very dangerous. If it's accompanied by headches it's certainly a sign to stop drinking immediately.

1 litre of water is nowhere near enough, you need to be drinking 2-2.5 litres a day.
