Technically yes.
Water intoxication (also known as hyperhydration or water poisoning) is a potentially fatal disturbance in brain function that results when the normal balance of electrolytes in the body is pushed outside of safe limits, ironically by that which makes up the majority of it - common water
Realistically unlikely.

yup its called overhydrated

Yes, you can drown your organs

no but you wil vomit it sall up and feel sick for like 30 min

Actually, yes. There was a radio contest where I live not long ago and a woman died from drinking about a gallon of water in like 10 minutes or something close to that.

YES You can dilute your blood to the point where it will no longer carry the amount of electrolytes your body need and you will die.

yes

a woman did in a water-drinking contest for a Wii

You most certainly can. When you drink too much water too fast you actually drown your brain. There was a radio show that had a contest and some lady died because of it.

Yes. I live in California and a few months back a lady died from drinking too much water on a radio contest. The DJ's were fired and the station was going to be sued because a nurse called in to say how dangerous it was but the DJ's kept them going anyway. Once she was home for about an hour or so, she died.

Yep. I live in Sacramento, CA, and a young mother died after drinking lots of water during an on-air contest at a local radio station. The DJ's got fired, and the station got sued. This happened less than a year ago.

Yes, you can die from too much water. Too much water is toxic for our bodies, but are bodies have a built in gaurd against drinking too much. It's called "ralphing" or "throwing up" excess water. The people that have died from drinking too much water, died because the were on some kind of drug that disabled the body from using it's defense.

yes you can, you can fill your blood cells with too much water, and then they would be too watered down to function.

Yes I was having an ultra sound done and was told by the nurse that I needed to make sure my bladder was full so I drank more water and another cup of water because I want this over with well I began to feel dizzy and sick to my stomach went and got the nurse and told her how I was feeling and she said nooooooo don't drink any more you will drown your insides just like if you went swimming and did not know how to swim. was prompt to put head back felt better 15 or 20 min.

Yes it does something to your kidney and it shuts down your body and you can die.!

A Big YES...Do not even attempt it with or with out drgs. Too much of anything can harm you, and sometimes kill you. It is called water intoxication, is when you alter the Sodium balance in you blood because you are basically diluting it, by drinking excessive amounts of water water in a short period of time. By the time you start to vomit it is too late and you get a sever headache and collapse immediately. Do not depend on drugs to save you from it. On the same note excessive alcohol consumption in a short duration can cause death too.
