water poisoning?

I had no idea you could die from drinking too much water. Hmmm.. Ill think twice before drinking water to death (which I usually do) to where I cant hold anymore.

 

yup,
three gallons i think is the figure...

 

its pretty hard to drink too much water

it is a danger, but not a huge one for the general population....it happens a lot during endurance events (marathons, ironmans, etc) when the electrolyte balance is messed up to the point where your just full of water...

 

my friend had to tend a guy who went on a Salt free diet, he nearly died of water poisoning. silly man. a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing.

 

i remember working hard days in the sun and drinking a gallon of water...not even pissing it out at all just sweating it out...

 

that's what kills alot of kids on e

 

Hyperhydration.

Interestingly, what happens is that your body has no electrolytes to regulate your bodies hydration, and your body dies because of dehydration from that overabundance of water.

 

I work outside in the blazing sun all day and drink at least 2 gallons a day.. I usually sweat it out but still.. thats kinda creepy to know that. I found out by some story of a girl who took some ecstacy and drank a few gallons and died from it.

 

as long as you have a sufficient sodium/electrolyte level in your blood, you're just fine. you'll feel it. it's like being drunk, i hear.

 

i drink close to 3.5 gallons of water a day

i drink out of a 1/2 gallon jug that gets filled plenty of times...glasses of water at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. water at the gym and swim practice. i drink enough water that i piss clear when i wake up in the morning

mmmm mmm pedialyte

 

Someone didn't pay attention in 9th grade basic biology.

 

BUT IT FEEEEEELS SOOOOO GOOOOOOOD

 

who?
me?

 

haha, nah fitz.. texasmade.

 

most people didn't...

 

It's called drowning.

 

You can die of too much of anything.....I think besides sex. That will just make you sore.

I got really sick one time from too much water. I drank 3 gallons of in a little over an hour because of a supprize piss test. Got really REALLY dizzy in the probation office and it took everything I had not to throw up. I think I vomited at least a half gallon of the water in the parking lot on the way out. During the 45 min ride home I had to pull over and piss.....I think it was 8 times. One of which lasted for almost two min.

 

I didn't have biology till 10th grade. Finally passed it in 12th......with an A+ I might add.....

 

Your stomach can only fit so much water...and if you drink more than that then you just have no common sense. I know when I've had enough water because I can feel the pain in my stomach telling me that.

I thought the limit was 2 gallons, jerry? Even that is A LOT of water to drink! But yeah, you can basically drown yourself by drinking too much water.

 

I actually think there is an urban legend of someone getting their entire vaginal lining torn out and later died from it while trying to break a world record of too much sex...but yeah to actually die from it would take like 7 or 8 days of straight sex and even then, you'd probably just die from starvation and dehydration.
