Water Intoxication Kills Chico Student

[smuggla]

one more question, why was he soaking wet with air conditioners blowing at him?

probably just another hazing stunt. i mean its already fuckin cold and when ur soakin wet with ac blowin on ya...ur freezin...

and yeah 5 gallons of h2o will kill anyone in one night. i learned in a nutrition class that u can OD on h2o.

its sad to see people want social status so bad that they will give their life doin stupid shit.

yeah, it is physically impossible for a human being to drink a gallon of milk in 1 hour.

no it's possible... it's just impossible to do it without throwing up.

I dont see how simply drinking water can kill you.

Water can kill you by drinking to much of it. It is really hard to do though, you would have to more or less be trying to drink enough to kill yourself. You have to drink alot (not sure how much but alot) and not puke or pee too much. What it does is it throws of the electrolites(sp) in your brain. Which then causes your body to shut down or go into seizures(sp.. again I am kind of drunk) Alot of the time you won't die if help gets there in time but you will most likely have serious brain damage.

The only reason I know this is because my mom is a nurse at King County Jail here in Washington. She told me she has seen people "OD" (on purpose trying to kill themselves) a number of times on water. I think she said one acctually did die. But yeah that is some crazy shit.

She also had a guy who stuffed corn bread up his nose and than ate enough to make himself choke. He was dead for like 3 minutes, then was brought back. He was paralyzed and had brain damage and then his family sued the Jail for it...I was like WTF?. By the way he was in there for killing his wife and two kids...personally I would just have let him die.

Can someone be arrested for giving someone else too much water? I wonder if you can OD on air as well.

its possible..ive witnessed it. back in high school there was a contest that if you can drink a gallon of milk in an hr and hold it down for a 30 mins you win $100. about 75 people tried and only 3 people did it. who knows if they held it down all night. i have never seen so many people puking at one time in my life.

naw,but this girl from Stockton who died from drinkin milk had to drink it all on the spot.she didnt get no hour to do it.........


i remember too,when i was a kid a little boy in Stockton,little boy,was messin around on christmas and tore a gift or somethin on accident,so his punk ass dad made him eat cat shit (it might have been dog shit,but im sure it was cat shit),anyway he died from that too.but thats more of an obviuos hazard than water or milk..........

Drinking too much water is extremely dangerous, and I can't believe some of you would find that hard to believe. It's very simple to understand actually if you have a little bit of common sense. You drink lots of water, it washes the salt (which is very important to have in your system), out...ultimately causing vital organs to shut down and kill you. Simple as that. You don't have to be an athlete that is sweating in order for it to happen, you just have to drink too much water.
