Answers:
Drinking water doesn't make you sick in and of itself, although it can result in a lot of trips to the bathroom (14 cups man!? doesn't that take like, an hour!?)!. The problem is when you drink it all at once!. Then you will probably vomit up bile and it can really mess with your stomach and kidneys!. But if you are drinking 14 cups in half-hour intervals, you should be fine!. Actually, that's really healthy!. :PWww@Answer-Health@Com

Yeah!. If you drink too much water you can have health problems!. People have died from over doing it!.

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!. As a general guideline, most adults need about three quarts of fluid each day!. Much of that water comes from food, so 8-12 eight ounce glasses a day is a common recommended intake!. You may need more water if the weather is very warm or very dry, if you are exercising, or if you are taking certain medications!. The bottom line is this: it's possible to drink too much water, but unless you are running a marathon or an infant, water intoxication is a very uncommon condition!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Sweetie, Drinking alot of water is very good for you because it cleans the inner body and makes you more clean on the inside its better than drinking pop and making yourself unhealthy!. A normal human should drink 8 glasses of water a day, doctor recommended!. If i were you i would just stick to drinking 8 cups a day!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

someone had actually told me that when you drink a lot of water you can drown yourself!

When i heard this i thought to myself, "What !?!!?!!? thats ridiculous!"

then i asked my science teacher and he said yeah!
so i guess if you drink too much water your body doesnt have time to digest all of it, and puts it in other places like your lungs, and you die!Www@Answer-Health@Com

yes water intoxication is very dangerous but hard to acheive in a sober healthy state!. you would have to consume like 3 gallons of water in a short amt of time to die from water intoxication!. ur body is made mostly of water and puting too much water into it causes your vital organs to swell and can be fatal!.

just drink when ur thirsty! hahaWww@Answer-Health@Com

Hyponatremia can occur if you drink too much water!. The sodium content in your blood drops drastically and can kill you!.
