    Wait? Is this serious? We are talking about drinking approximately one liter of water in 40 minutes? How is this even a discussion?

    Why are you judging everyone? Everyone is different, listen to your bodies

    I am not judging "everyone" - I am questioning the hyperbolic panic over a consuming a liter of water. It would take gallons of water to harm someone. Not 1 liter.

    No one will willingly drink that much water to get water intoxication. You need to drink gallons upon gallons in a short amount of time.

    My brother ended up in hospital after drinking too much water. It does happen.

    Water intoxication is when you take in to much water, but I'm sure you'd know if you had. Its when you drink to much, and you pretty much drown your brain or something like that because your skin and the like can no longer hold any extra water. (I cant remember the actual details) It's pretty hard to do if you're not actually trying to accomplish it. If you can inhale four or five gallons really quick, only then should you really be worried. For an hour, that amount? No.

    This sounds legit

    I actually heard this, apparently the one death ever from Ecstasy was a person who drank so much their brain flooded.

    I'm only asking because I usually don't drink a lot of water, so two bottles is a lot for me to drink in an hour when it's usually a bottle a day for me. I felt kind of sick. I know I'm being really stupid and paranoid, but I just wanted to make sure. Sorry if I bothered anyone.

    I hope you mean that's the only water you drink out of bottles normally a day. Or that you're getting a lot of fluid elsewhere, or I'd be concerned more about dehydration than over-hydration. :smile: You should be fine. I usually drink 3 of those on my way home from dance class, which takes about 15 minutes.

    <<<Have been known to chug 1/2 gallon of water immediately following a run. And routinely chug 2-3 bottles of water within 15 minutes of exercise.

    Also not afraid to let my body tell me when I need to be careful, not a thread of anonymous people who love to crack on silly questions.

    drowning your brain? totally legit.

    is that like flooding an engine?

    Although I have flooded engines, I don't have any idea what that means. I have not flooded any brains (that I know of), but I'm pretty sure it involves swelling and pressure. So, are they alike?
