Answer #1

Actually, yes this is true. This one lady drank too much, in a short period of time. She was in a contest, and well she basically drownd herself doing so. So dont drink mass amounts quickly.

Answer #2

Not normally. As you get filled up it gets uncomfortable and even painful to drink. If you ignore the warnings that your body is sending you, I believe that you can rupture your stomach with deadly results.

Answer #3

You can die from too much water. Drinking too much dilutes the blood’s normal salt content, producing a condition known as hyponatremia. The result: excess fluid is sucked from the bloodstream into cells–including brain cells–making them swell. Pressure grows inside the skull, and that can lead to permanent damage, even death.

Usually though, you will throw up if you’ve drank too much.
