[QUOTE=DeEz;39573282]I just... You notice your loved one being dangerously addicted to a substance, and the thought of it being at least a little unhealthy doesn't cross your mind? Where's you rational thinking you goddamn sheep[/QUOTE] Those people are the reason we have to put warnings on chainsaws telling you not to touch the operational end when it's turned on.
I've seen people down those huge 2L jugs as their drinks for lunch. I don't get it, when I drank pop, I could have like, a glass from that, and even then that was a lot, and a bit more made me feel rather ill. I can't even imagine what drinking [I]one[/I] of those a day, let alone 10.
Holy fuck 10 liters a day! I only drink like 1-1.5L every week.
I bet the family sues saying they thought it was perfectly healthy to drink that since there was not a warning. If you have to be warned of something as simple as drinking a lot of coke is bad, then your a complete idiot.
That woman was literally drinking a bucket's worth of coke each day. The only warning they need to put on their 10L bottles is "THIS IS NOT A SINGLE SERVING, DUMBASS, THIS IS FOR MULTIPLE PEOPLE TO SHARE OVER MULTIPLE MEALS, GO GET A SMALLER DRINK YOU FATASS"
[QUOTE=Mellowbloom;39574269]Pretty sure if you drink 10 litres of water a day you're not going to be healthy for long[/QUOTE] It can be, its recommended to drink around 3 liters of water a day. Drinking too much of anything can cause your cells to expand and even explode. [editline]13th February 2013[/editline] I don't see how my post was dumb. [QUOTE=Article]Mr Crerar said the family had not considered her Coke habit dangerous because the drink did not carry any health warnings.[/QUOTE] McDonalds was sued since someone got burned from their coffee, they said the coffee had no warning that it would be hot. I mean honestly how can you not think 10L of coke a day is not bad.
[QUOTE=assassin_Raptor;39574429]It can be, its recommended to drink around 3 liters of water a day. Drinking too much of anything can cause your cells to expand and even explode. [/QUOTE] Isn't it 1-2 litres? Three seems a bit much unless you're doing loads of exercise.
[QUOTE=assassin_Raptor;39574429]McDonalds was sued since someone got burned from their coffee, they said the coffee had no warning that it would be hot.[/QUOTE] For the record, they weren't sued simply because it was hot, they were sued because it was so hot that when the woman spilled it on her lap, she suffered third degree burns and had to get skin grafts.
[QUOTE=carcarcargo;39574493]Isn't it 1-2 litres? Three seems a bit much unless you're doing loads of exercise.[/QUOTE] I think its 3L for males and 2.2L for females.

Pop is incredibly addicting. Normally I'd blame the high fructose corn syrup but as far as I know, Coca Cola in New Zealand is made with real sugar. People should just stick to coffee..
[QUOTE=ThatSprite;39572784]10 litres a day no shit of course you'd fucking die from that[/QUOTE] Drinking that much in water probably isn't even good for you.
A drink at least 3 cans of coke a day, so over a litre a day. help me
Ignorance is the reasons people like this become extremely diabetic / die. [editline]13th February 2013[/editline] "Why do my arms and legs go numb and I have to pee thousands of gallons the more I drink this? Strange" "Why are my teeth falling out? This doesn't have a warning so its obviously not the cause! I won't stop to test this though, because it'd totally have a warning." [QUOTE=Jsm;39574701]Drinking that much in water probably isn't even good for you.[/QUOTE] [url]http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/overhydration[/url] "Overhydration can cause acidosis (a condition in which blood and body tissues have an abnormally high acid content), anemia, cyanosis (a condition that occurs when oxygen levels in the blood drop sharply), hemorrhage, and shock. The brain is the organ most vulnerable to the effects of overhydration. If excess fluid levels accumulate gradually, the brain may be able to adapt to them and the patient will have only a few symptoms. If the condition develops rapidly, confusion, seizures, and coma are likely to occur." "Chronic illness, malnutrition, a tendency to retain water, and kidney diseases and disorders increase the likelihood of becoming overhydrated. Infants and the elderly seem to be at increased risk for overhydration, as are people with certain mental disorders or alcoholism." "Untreated water intoxication can be fatal, but this outcome is quite rare." its very terrible for you actually just like too many vitamins will damage your liver, but people think the body can just "Use it later" so they eat an entire damn bottle of multivitamins a day.
[QUOTE=smeismastger;39572990]Everything in excessive amounts kills you. I still remember that woman who tried to break the record of drinking most water, she died later that same day.[/QUOTE] Goddamn that was a sad story. She was doing a radio contest to win a Nintendo Wii for her son and [I]died trying.[/I]

[QUOTE=Vodkavia;39572839]Wasn't there another woman from America who did something quite similar to this with the same result? Wait never mind, this is the same woman. Though it wasn't just the Coca-Cola that did her in, she smoked [B]30 cigarettes a day[/B] and ate nothing but a snack at lunch. FFS the most dangerous thing that woman ever encountered in her short life was herself.

We must warn everyone not to drink it! [sp]sarcasm by the way, just a comment on how stupid it is to ask for warning labels[/sp]
10 litres a day? how much time did she spend pissing?

A person died from water "intoxication" a long while back. They should probably put warning labels on bottled water, faucets, and shower heads. [url]http://www.nbcnews.com/id/16614865/#.URvd3aWuly8[/url]

[url]http://www.nbcnews.com/id/16614865/#.URvd3aWuly8[/url][/QUOTE] Put a warning label about drinking 8 bottles an hour and ovrehydration... dehydration deaths spike massively people have no common sense. A stove is obvious hot, they touch it, see that it's hot, ok. Do it again, smack their hand. But if they keep doing it, then why even bother telling them? They obviously know its harrmful yet keep doing it. You cant cure stupidity.
[QUOTE=Bradyns;39573216]Bottled juice still has a large amount of sugar in it. Water is pretty much the only fluid that should be consumed around those quantities.[/QUOTE] Oh, by that quantity I meant as the post above mine. Also, I was drinking the rather healthy stuff.
Reposted from the Heart Attack Grill thread. [QUOTE=Inspector Jones;39572322] The glorification of obesity is what's unnerving (People over 350 can eat for free, everyday), but really the Heart Attack Grill isn't the cause, it's just a product of it. The real problem is people not taking responsibility for their weight, like the "fat and proud mindset" (Which Heart Attack Grill seems to openly mock), and not thinking about whether eating a 2 pound quadruple burger with any sort of regularity is going to have severe consequences. If they end up eating themselves to death, it's hard to feel too sympathetic.[/QUOTE] Have the same feelings here. Even as a fat guy, it amazes me that there are people out there who don't think about the fucking food they shove down their mouth. I can't say I feel bad for her at all because either she really believed her diet wasn't causing her any harm which means she was one of the stupidest people on the planet, or B she was lying to herself and wasn't even attempting to control herself. Not that I want to sound too mean. I'm actively trying to lose weight and it does take a lot of will power to actively tell yourself to avoid the things you love to consume every time you feel the craving, but it doesn't even seem like these people were trying.
I seriously can't believe that as smart as most of us humans are, there are actually people stupid enough to need a label warning you that too much *beverage here* is bad for you. Are we seriously heading down the road where everything is foam padded and huge warning labels are on everything and pretty much make up the label? What next? "That hydrochloric acid looked so thirst quenching that s/he HAD to drink it! The warnings all over the bottle pretty much saying no not drink were just not clear enough!"
I can't even drink 2 liters of water in a day.
I limit myself to 2 cans a day maximum, I get sick of it after that point
Drinking 10L of coke per day could be more "healthy" than drinking 10L of water in one day. Thats because coke has lots of misc stuff, so it doesn't dilute your chemical balance as badly as 10L water.
[quote]urging the soft drink giant to put health warnings on its caffeinated products.[/quote] 10 liters of coke is roughly 1 gram of caffeine, which would not kill you even if you took it all at once. Caffeine has nothing to do with this.
[QUOTE=SomeDumbShit;39572783]I like how they're trying to put the blame on the drink manufacturers, this sickhead was drinking 10 litres a day I don't think any amount of warnings would've helped.[/QUOTE] 10 Litres of water a day could kill you
