Answers:
Yes! You can die from drinking too much water, so please don't try it! There was a radio station that had a contest when the nintendo wii first came out!. It was called Hold Your Wee for a Wii!. The contestants had to drink a 8oz bottle of water every 15 minutes and they weren't allowed to go pee!. They eventually had to start 16oz bottles when there were fewer people!. There was one lady who was trying to win the wii for her kids!. She finally gave in and went home!. She had a huge headache on the way home!. Her family came home and found her dead in the bathroom!. She had water intoxication!. I don't know how much water it would take to kill you, but please don't try it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, you can die from drinking too much water!. You effectively drown yourself!. The body can't get rid of the excess water, and it's absorbed into your organs (as all nutrients are), and eventually floods your lungs, and the electrolyte balance in your brain fluctuates!.

I would say about 10 Litres would do it for the average person!. About 80% of our bodies is water already!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You certainly can overdose by drinking too much water!. It is referred to water intoxication!.

Several years ago a radio station in the States was offering free concert tickets to the individual who could drink the MOST amount of water!. A woman had participated in the contest and she was later found dead (The family tried to sue the radio station)

Water intoxication (also known as hyperhydration or water poisoning) causes disturbance in brain functions that results when the normal balance of electrolytes in the body is pushed outside of safe limits by over-consumption of water in which individuals attempt to consume more than

10 litres or(3 gallons) of water drunk over the course of just a few minutes (an hour), or long bouts of intensive exercise during which electrolytes are not properly replenished, yet massive amounts of fluid are still consumed can bring about this condition!.

From what I read about the poor lady who died, she became very confused and then her organs started to shut down!.

10 litres is a lot of water!Www@Answer-Health@Com
