Drinking This Much Water Will Poison You

How Much Water Can You Drink Before It Harms You? There Is Such Thing As TOO Much Water.
Subscribe to our channel: bit.ly/Subscribe-to-Brainiac
We always hear about how good water is for you! Drinking it prevents headaches, helps with weight loss, maximizes physical performance, and more. But can too much water be a bad thing? Well if you consider being potentially lethal a “bad thing” then yes, yes it can be. There are a ton of names for what happens when you drink too much water (hyperhydration, water toxaemia, water poisoning, etc), but the effects are all the same. Cramping, spasming, nausea, vomiting, kidney stress, and brain-splitting headaches are just a few of the symptoms you can look forward to if you knock back a little too much H2O!
But why is it that a liquid that is considered one of the building blocks of life is so deadly if consumed in large enough quantities? And how can you prevent yourself from succumbing to its ill effects?
In this video, we’ll discuss the effects overhydration can have on your body, the amount of water that can be hazardous to your health, and give you a method of calculating the exact amount of water you should be drinking! In addition, you’ll find ways to prevent water poisoning, information on what to do should you succumb to it, and a handy test that can help determine how hydrated you really are!

Last week, I haven't drank for 3 days straight, for some reason. My body had severe headaches and I couldn't sleep. I tried drinking a large water bottle; and chugged it all in half a minute. I drank an average of 5 more bottles of that size at once over the course of about a week, until I started to feel pain again. I thought it was because I didn't drink enough water, so I drank another 3. Out of interest, I googled about drinking too much water, and found this video. All the symptoms, except vomiting, appeared to my, which is why I wasn't very suspicious. Halfway through I got SO shaky and scared that I couldn't watch a single second more. I ran to my nearby hospital, where I spent my next day at. Seriously, I don't know what I would've done if it wasn't for this video. And I don't even know why I'm sharing this, but I guess getting this off my chest makes me a bit relived. I feel like an idiot, though.

Too much water is bad Drinking less water is bad I had to learn that years ago when I was a little child, I was so dehydrated that I got really sick and had to be in the hospital for a long time For my brother, he drank too much.. happen last summer, I notice he was drinking alot but I kept playing my game, until I saw he was throwing up and feeling like passing out, mom and dad had to take him to the hospital immediately while I was tearing up a little and praying, he's okay now

I overdid it drink it too much water and my PP was solid white. I told myself to stop drinking water and start eating I feel myself start having a headache. I called my doctor. Should I go to emergency emergency room if I feel worse? Last night I start eating a pizza when I’m having a little bit headache all of a sudden I start drinking a little bit tomato juice has sodium in it and I drink some regular fruit drinks and some soda mix together going back-and-forth and lay off the water in a couple hours I’m starting to feel a little bit better when I kept drinking drinks have sodium in it and sugar. I stopped drinking water for a while and I start walking around outside. Get some fresh air and talk to my doctor some more tell him the good news. I’m starting to feel a little bit better. He told me to come see him next 24 hours anyway to make sure I’m OK.

Brainiac: Drinking too much water will poison you! Me: *has a water bottle to my side* Also Me: *moves it away*

so the recommended amount of water for me to drink is 75oz a day and the thing is I drank double that in 4 hours maybe even 3 3.3 liters or so cause it was about 160 or 170 oz

Make aepisode of how long can we stay outside

[@loopez9608]

ill try to remember all this

[@rickyb6086]

I think the perfect amount to maximize your health is 1 gallon per day. Here's what I do: As soon as you wake up in the morning, drink like 2 full glasses of water. It should take all day to drink a gallon of water (given normal circumstances). If you work outside in the heat, or perform a lot of cardio activities then you might require more than a gallon. But, for the average person 1 gallon is enough.
