It'd also be very unhealthy to take in that quantity of water.

You would cramp up with the loss of sodium... But I think that would be the least of your worries.

If you did, you'd probably get drunk and die.

Wish that told me how much water is too much. I'm assuming it would be different for each person.

So the real question is :

Is 5 Gallons of water in 8 hours too much?

 

[The General]

I would say so, when I was taking psychology, I read about some alcoholics who, when put in a hospitol would move their beds into the bathroom and drink water all day. Studies showed that 7.5 gallons of water in 24 hours was sufficient to get you drunk, and any more than that could kill you. That is almost the same amount, and in a wayy shorter time frame.

Interesting... Hope nobody tries it.

Too much water in your body would neutrailize the salt/sugar in your blood....and it could kill you i think
