I remember that one contest that the women died from drinking too much water.
[QUOTE=EltocV3;16366626]Apparently the kidneys can process 1 litre an hour on average, so, in theory. As long as i stay below 1 litre an hour i should be fine?[/QUOTE]
Those bastards,
I hate when i have to piss like ever 2 hours at school.
I used to have to go every hour, cause of energy drinks.
Now i avoid them, to avoid pissing myself.
and when you take a piss after you have an energy drink, like, a tiny bit comes out. and you're like "i was fucking busting just for this!?" and then you feel like you need to go again after 2 minutes.
[QUOTE=birkett;16366601]Go to your doctor and get a quick blood sugar test.
I started drinking like a fish, much like yourself a couple of years ago. A week later, I was in hospital with ketoacidosis - a side effect of type 1 diabetes.[/QUOTE]
you had diabetes and you were doing shit like that?
[QUOTE=thisispain;16366606]yeah kidneys aren't pipes where the shit goes "just let that fucking through, i'm totally fine with that", it can only process about 1 liter of water every couple of hours[/QUOTE]
That reminds me, if I ever have a child, I will name them Nephron.
Just like clockwork, time to go for another piss!

why are you drinking this much?
there really isn't a single reason, in fact, it does more bad than good
(maybe you should stop taking drugs?)
I feel thirsty, so I drink. But it just so happens i'm thirsty alot! I don't drink much fizzy drink, Just water, I don't think i've drunk anything but for about One-two weeks.

Didnt know i had it. Sugar levels slowly got higher - causing me to drink more.

Dude seriously go to the doctor, you might have diabetes or something
A quote from a book I have,
[quote=lolbook] A Florida woman with a genius IQ of 189 was so worried about dying of stomach cancer that she drank four gallons of water a day. She died at the age of twenty-nine of kidney failure[/quote]
I think you're safe as long as you don't drink four gallons.
Anything kills you if you have too much of it.
If you drink too much water at once you can die from a lack of Sodium in your blood and your brain will swell up with water and you can die. Or your kidneys can just fail..
[QUOTE=BISCUIT_TINS;16366763]Anything kills you if you have too much of it.[/QUOTE]
Except aids.
That shit'll kill you dead!
I heard something about "drowning your brain".
I'm not sure if it's true though.
[QUOTE=professional;16366465]You'll start regurgitating and puking it back up loooong before you risk death. It would take one extremely willpowered individual to die from drinking water.[/QUOTE]

Easy,There IS water poisoning .It happens if you drink 6 litters water a day. BUT its good to drink 6 litters in a hot today if you swet and stuff.if you drink 6 litter in a cold today, and not moving all day,not swet.your blood suffer a high amount of water in it and you will fall asleep for ever...(or till an ambulance come and take you).
If you drink too much water you cells will swell up and EXPLODE.
Just thought you'd like to know.
EDIT: Oh, and then you die.
Kids, drinking water is a healthy act. Drinking 2 or 3 liters a day can keep your face free of acne, hydrate your skin better, and actually give you more energy and willingness to move around.

not when you are going to the bathroom for 20 minutes
i mean, 2 or 3 liters a day can be way too much for some people, and way too little for others
i have to drink at least 5 liters a day due to my metabolism
Don't drink too much, or by virtue of an imperfect renal system you will start to lose electrolytes. Failing to replace them can lead to death.
Things like Sodium and Chlorine, necessary for muscular contraction and nerve impulse, are often lost. Potassium as well, which helps muscles relax after tensing and is IMPORTANT for your cardiac system.
why the hell hasn't anybody heard of water intoxication?
[QUOTE=thisispain;16366564]clear urine? clear urine is a sign of over-hydration, that's not good.
it's healthier than under-hydration[/QUOTE]
Clear Piss means that your body has the neccesary fluids it needs to uses the rest to help the kidneys filter shit, ma dad works in a hospital he knows this shit so i've learned assorted shit from him.
CLEAR = GOOD

Apparently your dad has never heard about how poisonous urea and ammonia are, both of which should be present in urine (giving it color).
