Borealis83	I know they have a problem at the London Marathon every year where a few people drink too much water while running. They drink so much water that they have water intoxication and some people have actually died. But i think that is more water than you could drink if you were just sitting at home and trying, you would pee you self before you got to water intoxication. But mostly when you drink too much water you either pee or throw it up if you drank it in one go Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

BSG	It's called fluid overload and causes many problems. Fluid can gather in your lungs, cause congestive heart failure, electrolyte imbalances, renal (kidney) dysfunction, etc. Some cases result in death. That's why we nurses have to be so careful when calculating an IV drip rate. Make sure you get enough water, but not too much. You'll need more water than normal folk if you take a lot of medications. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

jt1isme	Drinking too much water can lead to a condition known as water intoxication and to a related problem resulting from the dilution of sodium in the body, hyponatremia. Water intoxication is most commonly seen in infants under six months of age and sometimes in athletes. A baby can get water intoxication as a result of drinking several bottles of water a day or from drinking infant formula that has been diluted too much. Athletes can also suffer from water intoxication. Athletes sweat heavily, losing both water and electrolytes. Water intoxication and hyponatremia result when a dehydrated person drinks too much water without the accompanying electrolytes. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
