Although many of us could do with drinking a little more fluid than we do, it is possible to overdose on water. In absolute extreme cases excessive water intake can be lethal. It dilutes the levels of salts in the blood and causes the brain to swell, resulting in dizziness, headache, nausea, confusion, convulsions, coma and death. Fortunately, I really do mean extreme - drinking 20 litres or more over a period of hours, which most people would find very hard to do, even if they wanted to. People who are chronically ill are less able to get rid of excess fluid in their urine, and so are more vulnerable to getting a little water logged but even then water intoxication is rare.
You would need to chug down about three quarts of water or more all at once to come down with a case of true water intoxication. It does happen, but so rarely that I couldn't find statistics on the number of cases. These people become drowsy, lightheaded, and weak. They have trouble coordinating bodily movements and thinking straight, looking and feeling as if they just stumbled out of the local bar. But the water-intoxicated can't just go home and sleep it off. They must get treatment or risk going into convulsions, a coma, or even death.
What most Americans actually need to worry about is getting the eight glasses of water nutrition experts recommend (that's eight 8-ounce glasses). They suggest even more for athletes or people living in hot climates. While it may seem like a lot, it really isn't when you recognize that water accounts for up to 80% of your body weight and plays an integral role throughout in the smooth functioning of your body's vital systems.
It's no wonder, then, that falling short of the daily recommendation may make you ill. At first, you might feel thirsty and tired. Left unchecked, dehydration will progress with a loss of appetite, nausea, tingling in the arms and feet, labored breathing, dizziness, and possibly mental confusion.
You can prevent these symptoms from appearing by making sure you get your daily dose quota of water. Remember, it's a nutrient, too -- more important than any vitamin or mineral. Besides, what could be more refreshing than a cool glass of water? Include it during lunch, a mid-morning break, and even happy hour. Here's to good drinking. |

basically, if you drink too much water, you essentially dilute the levels of essential electolytes and stuff in the body, and your organs will fail.
one of the things you do when you are rolling is to not drink too much water, and if you do, don't chug it down, cos mdma causes water retention, and it will cause you to possibly cause yourself harm ;) |

Kind of interesting to expect somebody from a different country to know the abbreviations of an American traffic violation, don't ya think?
And its Influence, not Infulence. n00b :p |

Not if your off your face on E. I was at a talk by Leah Betts parents (she died on E on her first time, at her own birthday party, OD on water) and it does happen(think it's how most E deaths happen actually). |
