You spend all your time on the toilet. You rub your privates raw from all the wiping. Your hands get very chapped from the constant hand washing after peeing.

you get water intoxication and could die

only by drinking too much too fast so that your kidneys do not have time to process it. you may get a condition of water intoxiction or hyponatremia. yes you could die.

It is good for health. But in the later age we get more fat and have less physical exercise

Water intoxication which you can died from.

by too much, you have to be drinking over 3 litres a day...I hear that it floods your system, upsets your electrolytes and kills you. You literally drown internally.

You feel bloated! And then spew!

you flush all the nutriants out of your system

you get drunk.

You then explode and flood your town.....

Many people have died because the so-called 'nutritionists' have told them to drink vast quantities of water. It is astonishing to me, that people should ask questions like: "How much water should you drink?". If you drink when you feel thirsty, and stop drinking when you have had enough, then you will remain healthy. Anything else, and you will be risking your health and, in some cases, your life.

I went to da doc once cuz i was getting real bad headaches, nausea, diziness, and felt disoriented for about a week. The doc saw I had a huge bottle of water in my lap and said "You better not be drinking all that water everyday!" He sent me for some lab tests and told me to drink only 2 liters of water a day and if I'm thirsty after that then I should drink juice or gatorade. Went the lab test came back he said I had HYPONATERMIA (water intoxication). He said that the sodium in my body was being diluted by all the water and that I was feeling as if I had a hangover all the time cuz of that. The severe cases are when people drown themselves inside and their cells burst or something and the person dies. I was drinking alot of water to try and keep myself from eating to much... stupid me.

over hydration is a big problem too but not as bad as dehydration your cells swell and can sometimes burst or your brain can become swollen and hit the walls of the cranium causeing damage

Dear reader, I shall stay anonymous for this story, for reasons that will also stay anonymous... Okay... Here goes, I had probably had about two or three medium sized glass' of water and a green tea before I went out on the night in question. I am sure you are able to understand the significance of this information, observing the forum you are currently reading this on. Moving along, I went out to Sydney city, Australia with a couple of my friend's for a relatively 'quite' night. It was to see a jazz/psychedelic band. I had to eventually pick up my car from my friend Owen R. Of'ouse-lets-cal-im(Owen for short)'s place at the end of the night to drive myself home with... So, I had one schooner of LIGHT beer at the venue soon after we got there. Let me quickly, however soon into the story, interject here by telling you that my blood/alcohol has to be at ZERO/NYADDA/ZILCH while I'm driving as I currently hold a provisional (P1 to be specific) NSW drivers license. Approximately ten, to twenty minutes after the schooner of light beer I had around two hundred, and eighty five (285) MILLILITRES of WATER. Which is commonly known as a middi in most of 'populated' Australia(Generally refering to beer from my experience). ***One and a half, to two hours later*** My friend's and I decided to call it a night and were heading back to a member of the group(Oh yeah, the Jazz/Psychedelic band was excellent by the way), Drew Var-lets-cal-im(who shared a convoluted family connection/relation (take your pick) with Owen R. O'ouse-lets-cal-im(Owen for short), which we won't go into now)'s, car. Drew Var-lets-cal-im(who shared a convoluted family relation with Owen R. Of'ouse-lets-cal-im(Owen for short), which we won't go into now), by the way, had driven us from Owen R. Of'ouse-lets-cal-im(Owen for short)'s place to the venue earlier that evening. I am not sure how long, on average, it takes to flush a schooner of light beer from a persons system, but I could still taste beer. Due to this reason I decided to pick up a two litre bottle of water from a convenient store nearby. In about fifteen, to twenty minutes (C'mon, I wasn't focusing on the time); during the drive back to my mates place I opened, gulped at, AND pretty well polished off the bottle of water. There was only a tiny tinkle left at the bottom, I promise you! Upon arriving at Owen R. Of'ouse-lets-cal-im(Owen for short)'s place, I jumped out of the car we were in, and into mine following a suggestion from Drew Var-lets-cal-im(who shared a convoluted family connection/relation (take your pick) with Owen R. O'ouse-lets-cal-im(Owen for short), which we won't go into now). As soon as I put the keys in the ignition it immediately struck me that drinking so much water in such a short amount of time could not be good for my, or any human's body. So, suffering from a slight case of hypercondria, I started to get a little paranoid. I had heard stories of athletes flooding their systems with too much water and essentially drowning themselves... to death! Yes, I see the irony in that statement, especially in the context. Do you? Anyway, getting back to the point: I figured I should best make a few pit stops on the trip home (which is about an half hour drive) to, how should I put it... relieve the build-up of kidney juice in my bladder. Ok, so I managed to do this once. When I got home I was feeling 'over-hydrated' (A phrase which I believe, probably wrongEfully and through the rose coloured spectacles of delusion, I just coined). so I got on the internet (After expelling more kidney juice several times, like a real man) to do a smidgen of research; and humour my 'slight', albeit self diagnosed, case of hypercondria. So far, using the powers of critical analysis, logical thought, and creative imagining I've 'deduced' from this forum and, also other websites that... ... ...too much water can screw with one's cell's electrolite balance ¿and therefore head? by 'watering down' the sodium in one's system etc. etc... I can't connect the dot's precicely/don't understand the exact science right now (nor do I have the time to), but it really [messes] with your cells in other words. Which "...only in extreme situations like drinking 10 gallons in a few mins..." will likely "...be fatal..." due to the empirical fact that the "...cells burst or something...". (Thankyou Silver Scorp, Pretty Vicky, and more subtly 'singwell-is off researching alot'. I hope I didn't twist your words TOO much; and presume you all did your research... ALOT). I have no current way of telling, while writing this at least and not doing more research, if this is a relatively ¿objective? way of looking at it or not... But from what I have read, it appears (to me) to make a SMALL amount of sense. If you, personally, would like to know more I suggest you cross reference a bunch of reading material's, professional's and possibly a paper bag. Breath easy. As you may have already guessed, this night was tonight and I guess, circumstances permitting, that I probably won't drown tonight. Hooray! But also a subtle subconscious 'damn!' due to the aforementioned self diagnosed hypercondria, not depression. No sympathy please. Also, please note the subtle shifts in how I've been refering to the hypercondria thing! Maybe I should shift in the other direction if you know what I mean ;) and if you don't: Please turn as many a blind eye as you can to the previous two sentences(and possibly alot of this post). I am curious to see what other effect/affect's (depending on your world view) this subject may have on one's body. So far I've drank a small amount of saline solution I concocted myself (Oh, what a wonderful chemist I am!) to try and sort out the possible sodium/h2o issue, and wrapped a blanket around me to sweat it out for a bit. I don't really know exactly what I'm doing; these are just 'precautions', because consciously and predominantly subconsciously, I want to stay alive for as long as I can. CLEARLY, it CAN be FUN and PRODUCTIVE! In conclusion: From a popular belief perspective I should probably speak to some professionals in the fields of psychology (behavioural AND otherwise), and cognitive therapy et cætera. And You! Yes YOU! Don't drink too much water, please, for both of our sakes. Instead, "...drink when you feel thirsty, and stop drinking when you have had enough..." and hold your health over anything else, even sex (Thank you Prunesquallor, my friend... for the previously quoted post, not for the act described by the last word of this sentence before the open bracket rudely interrupted...). Well, that is my story for the night. I am not a writer by trade, therefore hope it was easy enough for you to read ( ... ). I also hope that AT LEAST one of us got something out of it. ;) Much love, The Man From The Sometimes And Often City of Curio PS. Please do not drink drive and remember to use protection. PPS. "...You can't always get what you want, you get what you need..." (Thank you Mick-Jagger) PPPS. To answer your question Ace of Hearts, I'm not 100% sure.
