You CAN overdose on water!!
July 15, 2005 @ 06:18 AMI’m one of those few people who don’t really struggle with getting enough water every day. I have a one-pint bottle here at work and I usually go through it between 2-4 times a day, and I have a 1-pint bottle at home that I usually drink 1-3 times an evening. So that’s pretty good. And I love it too! I love water! Not tap water, not MOST tap water at least… not MY tap water.
Anyway, it turns out that according to WebMD (take that for what it’s worth), you CAN overdose on water, and it’s an extremely serious situation (leading to death if not immediately treated). However, it would require the average person immediately guzzling approximately 3-quarts of water. Something nearly impossible to do, I would imagine.
Anyway, there ya go.
