    The kidneys of a healthy adult can process fifteen liters of water a day! You are unlikely to suffer from water intoxication, even if you drink a lot of water, as long as you drink over time as opposed to intaking an enormous volume at one time, or if you happen to be an infant then maybe limit your water more loll

    Damnit! I already can't drink copious amounts of alcohol or eat tons of shrooms to get the desired effects (sypmtoms) such as abnormal mental status. Now you've gone and taken away my water buzz too???

    *sigh* back to heroin i guess, anyone got a belt?

    This is scary because I was told to log my showers as water. Am I at risk?
    Also, if you take a hot hot bath, will it burn fat?

    WTF?

    That pretty much had nothing to do with drinking too much water. The article is about not having enough salt intake. And with the way foods are now (overly salted), there is no problem with lack of salt.

    Do you have any idea how much water, all at once, a healthy person would have to drink (without urinating) for this to happen?

    I hate threads like this, because I don't think some people realize how hard it is to get water poisoning. It's REALLY HARD. You have to drink an extremely large amount of water in a very short time period to get water poisoning. There's a reason a lot of deaths linked to water poisoning are linked to frat hazing! As long as you're a healthy adult with healthy kidneys, your body can get rid of the excess water easily.

    Stay thirsty, my friends.

    It has to take off at least two layers of skin.

    Science proves that 100% of people who drink water, eat food, sleep, and even breathe, will die! Better stop doing all of these things!

    So, I know people aren't going to take me seriously, due to how they responded to this post, but...

    Hyponatremia is an actual risk. There have been a bunch of studies done on it, and over-hydration can actually be more deadly than dehydration. It really only presents itself in long-distance runners, so it's pretty rare, but it is an actual thing that you should be concerned about if you drink a lot of water when running marathons.

    Educate yourself, people! OP was just trying to raise awareness.

    The contestant lacked common sense, unfortunately. When something hurts, you stop doing it.

    Just FYI....:smile:

    I've actually been reading up on this. But, when I asked a doctor, he said it would be very difficult to drink that much water. You need to be careful... but, don't be scared about it. Your kidneys, he said, work at naturally replenishing your sodium levels.
