    A woman joins a contest to win a Wii for her three children. The rules are simple: drink as much water as you can, without taking a bathroom break. However, the contest was flawed, and caused 10 people to lose their jobs, along with her life. How could water be toxic, or even dangerous? Isn’t drinking water a good thing? What about sports drinks? Let’s get into it.

    This is why students should never not be allowed to go to the toilet. Teachers always say you can’t go because you should’ve gone at break time even when you didn’t need to go then.

      The main problem is that most people are unaware that the overconsumption of water does have negative effects, which is usually not taken into consideration because it's generally assumed that it's the best thing you can drink, especially since so much of our bodies are made of water. Because of this, she probably didn't realize how harmful it had the potential to be to her by drinking too much, but that doesn't make this case any less tragic

Ignorance is no excuse, if they were holding this contest- - uhm- - how about knowing what the worst case scenario is!! So when she (or any contestant) complained about severe pain, they could have had emergency medical ready. Sickening lack of responsibility, sure her family got some money, but their loving mother died needlessly.

I can’t imagine how her family must have felt, how SHE must have felt in the hours leading up to her untimely passing. Wanting to do something difficult and painful in order to bring a smile to her kids’ faces, not knowing the gravity of her mistake (the radio station’s mistake) until it was too late. I don’t blame her in the least bit though. It was 100% the responsibility of the radio station. They should have been made aware of the risks and canned it before they ever promoted it.

    I cannot BELIEVE the absolute flippancy of those djs when even being called my nurses to warn them. The didn't care!!!! Psychopathic. Disgusting. They should be charged with manslaughter AT LEAST. because even tho they signed a waiver, there were professionals calling them out for even allowing this competition. They endangered the public. There's a loophole here somewhere to get them. There's gotta be.

    I once heard a case in a hospital that a woman had arrhythmias and tachycardia.
    The only background was that she was doing a "Water diet" to lose weight. She said she drank like 20 litters of water the last day.
    This time the greatest problem wasn't the loss of Sodium, but instead of Potassium, which lead to many cardiac problems.
    Luckily this situation had a good ending, stabilizing her ions and everything ended up alright.

    I've heard of water 💦 intoxication.
    I went to a mental health center that had groups for different reasons.
    A couple other clients there told me that they went to a water 💦 intoxication group there.
    I even remember one of them used to visit me and ask for so much ice tea that I made a gallon of ice tea and kept it in my refrigerator so I didn't have to jump up and down to make him tea.

    They signed a waiver. The onus is on the participants to know if it is safe to participate or not.

    When I drink a lot of water, like during a hike, I start to get funny feeling in my stomach and a disgust for water. I hope it's not a symptom of something else I overlooked, but I'm glad that I'm dissuaded by my own body to drink too much water.

      Its just water bloat my guy, same reason why she looked pregnant. Its pushing the edges of your stomach which makes a funny disgusting weighted down and boggy feeling. Shake your stomach well like that and you can feel the water sway

      I am one of the people that drink a bottle in only a few gulps...
      the "secret" is to drink often, but only in sips. water bladders are perfect for that (camel back and alike).

    I'm always dehydrated so I've made it a habit to take a drink every time I hear or see the words "drink" "water" "thirsty" etc. I drank almost an entire bottle of water while listening to this before I noticed the irony. Now I'm waiting while my bathroom is under maintenance. 😖
