One of the side effects of drinking lots of lemon water is that it triggers tooth erosion. This is because lemons are acidic and long-term exposure to acidic drinks can erode tooth enamel.
This erosion can later cause increased tooth sensitivity, dental caries, and other bigger dental problems.
If you like drinking lemon water, try drinking it using a straw so it doesn’t come into direct contact with your teeth. Apart from that, you can also rinse your mouth after drinking it.
2. Discomfort in the stomach

Some people like to drink lemon water because it helps reduce bloating and stomach discomfort, and improves digestion.
However, don’t be surprised because if consumed in excess, lemon water can cause stomach discomfort.
