  Unless you were extremely dehydrated you should worry about, electrolyte dilution, kidney damage and bladder distension. That is too much liquid for anyone to drink at one time — green tea or anything else.

  Green tea is very good for you so keep drinking it…it won't hurt. You may make several trips to the bathroom and it may keep you awake and a little jittery since it has caffeine in it, but other than that, you will be fine. I drink it all the time.

  agreed, you shouldnt drink more than 800ml of any sort of liquid an hour- water included (without proper sodium consumption).
  as far as arizona iced tea goes, anything with the name Arizona will come packed with sugar. green tea seems to be a bit more tame than the rest, though if its the green tea with honey then yeah thats a quite a bit of work for your body.
  you're not in immediate life-threatening danger or anything, but i wouldn't recommend doing something like that too frequently.

  You may be dehydrated, but drinking too much green tea isn't going to do you harm…maybe just create insomnia. Green tea is actually good for you….they believe it helps reduce the risk of cancer, helps with your cholesterol levels, fights bacteria and helps you burn more calories if trying to lose weight. I don't know if it's been proven, but that what I've read….I think I'll go drink a gallon. Good luck!
