Answers:
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 by a very rapid intake of water.
A person with healthy kidneys can excrete about 900ml (0.24 gal)/hr.[2] Consuming as little as 1.8 litres of water (0.48 gal) in a single sitting may prove fatal for a person adhering to a low-sodium diet, or 3 litres (0.79 gallons) for a person on a normal diet. However, this must be modulated by potential water losses via other routes. For example, a person who is perspiring heavily may lose 1 L/hr (0.26 gal) of water through perspiration alone, thereby raising the threshold for water intoxication. The problem is further complicated by the amount of electrolytes lost in urine or sweat, which is variable within a range controlled by the body's regulatory mechanisms.

Don't know -- always mix mine with scotch.
google it
yes.. there was a news before about a woman who died after participating in drinking contest.. take note: they are drinking water.. too much water, the cell would not be able to handle it,,
yes it will
Haha! Yes, it is true, but I don't think you have to worry about this. You'd have to drink a couple gallons or something for that to happen, I beleive. One radio station had a water drinking contest and it killed a woman. But it had something to do with her nutrition and the speed that she downed it.
you'd have to drink a shitload of water!!
If you hold it in, yes
If you only drink water and dont eat at all and dont hold it in, yes
If you eat well, and drink waer, but dont hold it in, no.
Hopes this helps!
APPARENTLY SO, THERE WAS SOMETHING ON THE NEWS NOT TOO LONG AGO ABOUT A LADY WHO DRANK TOO MUCH WATER AND DIED. IT WAS FOR A COMPETITION. (sorry about caps just realised it was on)
Yes there have been revcent news reports of someone dying of weater intoxication
No I don't think so.Your body it self has more water in it than anything else.
I don't know. But I do know that I used to drink tons of water to help me pass drug tests and it often made me throw up.
Yes but I don't know how much a person would drink to cause that.
Yes I've heard this can and did happen.!! This is a link to an article of a women who died trying to win something for her son via a radio contest, how sad ,read on!!!

YES..you can drown yourself from the inside out....cellular even...
No, but you don't want to drink it til your uncomfortable. Over doing anything can make you feel sick. Being force fed water can kill if it doesn't stop. The stomach can rupture.
