DIE FROM TOO MUCH H20!!!!

RayFinkle · Jan-16-07, 01:28 PM

Yes maaam, this radio station had a competition to see who could drink the most water. Out of the two competators one of them died and the other was hospitalized. Supposedly too much water dilutes the blood and doesn't have the proper nutrition to feed your brain (mostly lack of glucose) so then u start feeling tired cause ur not getting the right nutrition and eventually fall into a comma. Both of them fell into a comma and the other died

. Im sure it Took ALOT of water to do this maybe a couple litters. Could 1 litter before fasting cardio (According to Juji's site) be too much?????!?#?@!#!?@#??!@?#@?#?!?@#??!@?#?UH OH!!!

Does anyone know any negatives that come with either drinking too much at once(I kNO... DEATH) or over time?

NONONONO REALLy...True story

Thats a very odd coincidence. Or your the end result of some chinese whispering !

Woman dies of 'water intoxication' after radio contest

A preliminary autopsy states that a woman died of "water intoxication" following a water drinking contest for a Nintendo Wii. News10 in Sacramento reports Station 107.9 The End's "Hold your wee for a Wii" contest had contestants doing exactly what the title says. The winner was the person who didn't release their bladder the longest. According to the woman's co-worker, after the contest, "She said to one of our supervisors that she was on her way home and her head was hurting her real bad ... she was crying and that was the last that anyone had heard from her." The co-workers contacted the woman's mother later on to check up how she was doing and she discovered the body. No word yet on how much water the woman consumed.

I already knew that hahaha, you can die from anything, from eating too much apples and from drinking too much water, or OD on cocaine.

It upsets the osmotic balance, so your cells take in too much water and explode. I could be wrong though.

a friend of mine drank 8 500ml bottles of water and got incredibly sick, he never did any activity afterwards or anything, just drank a shit load of water in very little time.

Is it possible to drink too much water?

Drinking too much water is rarely a problem as the body normally excretes any fluid not required.

The only circumstance where excessive water may be a problem is during prolonged strenuous exercise (e.g. marathon running) when sweat loses are very high and only plain water is drunk. If sodium is not replaced, there will be a rapid drop in blood sodium concentration (hyponatraemia) with very 'watery' blood plasma. This can result in dizziness, mental confusion and, in sever cases, seizures, respiratory failure and even death. Hyponatraemia sometimes occurs during endurance events (e.g. ironman triathlon) in very hot conditions.

I've heard about people taking ecstasy, and for some drug-related reason not being able to detect that they've quenched their thirst. They keep drinking water in an attempt to hydrate themself and end up doing the same thing as that woman on the radio show. Anyone else heard of this or am I talking outta my ass?

Yes, it is true. But the ammount of water you would need to drink is beyond ridiculous.
It's not like you can do it accidentally.

I generally make it a goal to get 3 liters a day. Why three liters? I have some handy containers that hold 3 liters.
