I heard that someone overdosed on water. How is this possible? You can't overdose on weed, but you can on water? makes no sense. The body is made up of mostly water, so to me I can't understand this. Also, what if someone is allergic to water? They would be allergic to their own body. That would not be a fun time.

yes, I heard that before. But it all make sense to me, taking anything too much is bad to us. I drink 2L of water everyday, as I know I need this.

You can certainly drink too much water, but you would have to drink an awful lot of it. If you take ecstasy tablets, which obviously you shouldn't because they're illegal and dangerous, people will often die because they drank too much water because one of the side effects of the tablets is extreme thirst. Effectively what happens when you drink too much water is that you drown your body, and the salt levels in your blood get far too low and you can get faint and pass out. But, as I said, that is only extreme and you would have to drink a lot for this to happen to you.

I have heard if you drink too much water it can make you sick with stomach cramps. some people vomit when they drink to much water. In the summer time when it is so hot outside and you are working in the heat all day long and you start drink a lot of water you can get sick and pass out.

Actually, yes, you can get too much water - its a problem you have to look out for with infants. And I knew someone allergic to water - she had to be careful how she bathed and to make sure she was completely dry or she'd get a rash

If you drink too much water it can be hazardous to your health. I've drank a lot of water before and noticed that it turned my urine stream nearly clear. The doctor's looked at me and told Me I needed to stop drinking so much water. I think it has something to do with the kidney's and kind of "Floating". Don't ask me the details, I am no doctor.
