Going over the daily recommended amount

On most vitamins and minerals research scientists will measure how much of each we should be consuming per day. This is from wikipedia:



United States vitamin C recommendations

Recommended Dietary Allowance (adult male) 90 mg per day

Recommended Dietary Allowance (adult female) 75 mg per day

Tolerable Upper Intake Level (adult male) 2,000 mg per day

Tolerable Upper Intake Level (adult female) 2,000 mg per day



What happens if we go over this amount continuously? Is it bad for our liver or will it just be passed through the body without any ill effects?
