Will taking creatine, and drinking tons of water make it would faster then if I drank less water each day? I'm using american stamina, which has creatine in it. It's grape flavor. My friend he worked out just like me, and he is using creatine from gnc. He says the "key" is tons of water. I drink a good amount of h2o per day.

I used to take creatine - stop ! Your body creates creatine naturally - when your body senses that an outside source supplies you with enough, or even too much creatine, your body slows down or stops the production of the natural chemical. Drinking a lot of water naturally will hydrate your muscles and clean out your system. Also, creatine is harmful to the kidneys.

there is nothing wrong with using creatine.
i dont think over-drinking will affect your result, just drink a decent amount, because creatine helps to absorb more water into the muscles.
