@@Samara.Weaving Yes, temporarily, as a quart of water is equivalent to two pounds of weight, so your body weight on a scale can fluctuate by 2-4 pounds throughout the day, as water levels change. However, drinking water increases your metabolism by 25% for an hour after, so drinking more water throughout the day and keeping your metabolism high will help you burn more fat content in the long run.
I literally threw up from drinking too much water because my mom said, "Drink water before your pelvic ultrasound," so this was my first ultrasound, and I drank 4 bottles and threw up right away. Never again
Make sure not to drink too much water too fast. Heat might also play a factor. When my grandmother was young, she was out in the sun for too long and developed heat stroke. She stayed inside for a couple days and recovered. Thank goodness she’s alive and well.

A nurse friend who went to Haiti to assist in the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake was drinking a lot of water to stay hydrated in the intense heat. She started feeling sick and realized that with all the sweating and drinking plain water she was losing vital minerals. She started drinking Pedialyte or a similar product and was able to continue with her life-saving work for the people of Haiti.
Is this applicable to water only? I am pretty sure I've definitely drank more than 1 liter of liquids in one hour more times in my life and nothing happened. Mostly my stomach feels extremely full only and I am bloated in such cases.
@@rubyoro0she drank them in 20 minutes. She didnt die immediately after drinking them. It did likely take at least 45 minutes to an hour and you dont know how long emergency staff and doctors tried to work on her so from drinking to death, could have been hours

Condolences to her family especially her young children!! Sending prayers.. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
This is really scary. Growing up, I was told not to drink too fast coming home from the heat. Instead, eat watermelon slices. They not only cool you down, but also slow you down.
I almost died from drinking too much water, attempting to be healthy. I felt so sick, but my grandmother came to the rescue, and said I needed to have other stuff with the water. So she cooked me up a big spicy dinner, with a soda on the side, and then the recovery slowly began to work. Water by itself will just wash away everything in your body
It's kind of scary of knowing that your body needs water to stay hydrated but still having to be careful of how much water your body actually needs. I'm glad to know this. So sorry this happened to her.
@@Mariama_KaneFacts! The idea that she forced that much water into her stomach in such a short time is bizarre, I could understand if she was a bigger person she would have been fine but that was a lot of water
Kinda the same thing happened to me a few years ago. I had a severe lack of salt in my body after working in a uniform during a heat wave. I drank too much water overall, and far too much giving the lack of sodium in the system. It was horrible, I’ve never felt like that in my life. Endless thirst, headache and a disturbing sense of unreality and strange thoughts, I had to force myself to stay focused on my surroundings. The doctor told me to eat as much salt as I could, and to not drink a drop of water for 24 hours. I had about 5 liters of too much water in my body at the time. Please, don’t forget to eat extra salt during warm weather! If pure salt on your tounge tastes good, your body wants it. If it tastes bad, it’s enough. Edit: Thank you so much for all the kind, heartwarming and interesting replies! :)
@@eyeswideopen7777 Exactly, there's more than one dangerous part about chugging water. If you already have low sodium in your blood, the water is going to pull out the remaining sodium and cause hyponatremia. All the more reason to put salt on watermelon!
This is the reason why dehydration is best remedied not with plain water but with fluids that have electrolytes, particularly sodium (e.g. Gatorade, Pocari Sweat, oral rehydration solutions, etc.). What happened is that you had dilutional hyponatremia (whatever sodium in your body was diluted by the excess free water), exacerbated by sodium loss from sweating. Headache and changes in behavior and sensorium (wakefulness) happens because hyponatremia leads to cerebral edema, i.e. swelling of the brain. In severe cases, people die from this brain swelling.
@@Vendemiair I remember my grandmother always giving us watermelon with salt on a really hot day. Your thirst goes away almost immediately. It's actually really tasty too. You can drink water with it too, but there's no need to chug it.
I was drinking 6-8 bottles of water a day, and drinking other stuff too, and my doctor told me that was too much water. She told me 4 bottles a day was plenty. She didn't say you can die from it though. Prayers for her family and everyone who loved her.🙏♥️
@@BigGuadelope Well the recommend daily amount of fluid intake for women is about 2.7 liters... And she drank nearly 2 in 20 mins so that seems like a lot in a short timeframe.
Rest in peace poor woman. I remember for a school science project we were challenged by our teachers to drink as much water as we could. Looking back that was severely dangerous and some students were sick
That's also a lot of weight/pressure to heave against. The weight of the water on top of whatever else might have been in her stomach at the time might have made it hard for the stomach lining to contract around it.
unfortunately the body doesn't see the water as a toxin (because it's water), so by the time it's over the limit of what her body can handle in such a short period of time it's already too late.
A person vomits due to the vomit center thinking a poison has been ingested. Hence the reason people suffer motion sickness. Water isn't a conventional toxin, it's necessary, but in high amounts it can be dangerous.
I down 4 12 ounce beers in 20 minutes before happy hour ends and I am just getting started. I am actually shocked to hear this poor lady died from drinking 4 bottled waters.
This is a good reminder that water is bound to have a dark side. It literally gives me chills because I remember feeling nauseous and fainting out with seizure when I got overhydrated in Florida summer heat.
@@LilXancheX Now that's just overreacting. Drinking water is essential to life. You have to really try to drink enough water quick enough for it to cause this. You're stomach will want you to puke after just a couple bottles. Sipping on water is never going to hurt you, just don't chug it.
@@twostormz2718 If you're sipping on water you should be a-ok. For a few years now, I've been sometimes (like 1-2x a day) adding a few grains of himalayan salt to my glass of water. It contains lots of minerals that help transport water inside the cells.
I almost died from this as well. They tell us to stay hydrated by drinking water but what they've failed to tell us is that we also need sodium, potassium and magnesium (electrolytes). While drinking water to stay hydrated and sweating in the heat, we lose these. I now put sodium and potassium in my bottled water on a daily basis.
Exactly! I add LMNT to my water. Absolutely love it! Clean ingredients, and for the sweetened ones stevia is added. Or u can just get it w/o the stevia.
@@angelothehorrorfan5013 The aftermath was also gods plan so whats there to plan about or do you think prayer will change the mind of the almighty one ?
She drank too much water too fast 64oz of water is almost 2 liters of water which is about 8 cups She just drank it too fast and her kidneys couldn’t take in all that water in a short about of time When you plan on drinking that much water, you need to pace yourself so that you’re giving your body time to consume and deal with all that water.
You can't there's something else to this story all the sudden with billions of people on this planet like no one esle drinks alot of water don't believe this gargabe every notice since people got you know what 2-3 years ago your seeing the weirdest reasons for people dying? Just saying wake up
So very sad to hear this. Especially when we hear that we do not get enough water. In this case, like most things, don't overdo it. 35 is so young. Be safe, everyone.
I’ve been working outside in Houston TX this summer and it’s been 100+ every day. I drink about 1 16 oz bottle of water every hour with electrolyte supplements every 3rd bottle and it’s kept me hydrated. If you ever feel like water is staying in your stomach to the point you can hear it slosh if you jump, stop drinking for a bit so your body can process it.
Thats an interesting thing you said at the end because sometimes after a heavy meal I feel so thirsty I drink a lot of water and I can hear the water in my tummy, and then soon after I start feeling sickly and regret ever eating or drinking so water. Gonna keep this in mind next time
I never heard that before,dying because of too MUCH water,usually it's the other way around,like dying of dehydration,so I guess you learn something every day...
@@Dav458it’s easier to recover from dehydration than over hydration. Drinking too much water and not replenishing sodium/salt can be deadly and irreversible if not caught in time vs dehydration.
It is probably safer to drink five bottles of beer quickly than five bottles of water, your body just vomits the beer out, but the water is held in the system, imagine that!
@mepsiemopar8991 That's why u should add electrolytes to your water to quench your thirst, most of these water bottles have no nkthing, Hence u drink more water. ppl forget such basic things.
@@jimibaked4235I agree! They said she was drinking the water because she thought she was dehydrated. I've drank a ton of water at six flags on very hot days and it didn't harm me at all. But I was truly dehydrated.
As someone who had to spend a full week at the hospital due to water intoxication I can confirm that it’s definitely not a joke. It dilutes your electrolytes specifically your sodium levels and it can screw with you mentally and somewhat physically. I was having anxiety attacks and I constantly felt tired, thirsty, confused, and dealt with serious muscle cramps. I was going to the ER so many times it was out of control. One day I called the nursing line for any suggestions telling them the symptoms I was experiencing and was told to go the hospital within 24 hours. At first I was reluctant but doubled down on the decision to go and called the ambulance to take me there. When I arrived they found my sodium level to be 111 which is considered severe. Your sodium level is supposed to be between 135-145 to be in the normal range. Had I not gone to the hospital to get my situation taken care of I wouldn’t be here telling you all about my experience. It’s been a year and I’m still alive and doing much better! Drinking water is good but don’t drink too little to dehydrate yourself and don’t drink too much to overhydrate yourself. Make sure you consume sports drinks to replenish your electrolytes. Never take your electrolytes for granted.
I drink a lot of water, way more than my friends and family who drink tons of soda and coffee, so I thought I was being healthy. But I've been very ill and dehydrated the past few months, my doctors kept telling me I was dehydrated and needed to drink more water. I didn't understand how I could be dehydrated when I drink so much water, but now I am realizing that I probably have electrolyte imbalances. Usually I drink a lot of water and avoid sodium because I thought salt was totally unhealthy and drives up your BP. But now I'm thinking I must not be getting enough. I checked my medical records and my sodium was recorded as low, but no doctor ever discussed this with me. They don't give a damn lol💀
@@levithebaddest2369 Too much sodium is unhealthy, but salt in itself is an essential nutrient. As long as you aren't eating a ton of fast food or eating out at restaurants too often (restaurants and fast food places tend to over-salt everything) and you aren't sprinkling extra salt on top of every dish you eat at home, you should be just fine.
I have never in my life heard of a condition like this until now. I will be careful in the future. Thank you for this story! What a terrible tragedy. So sorry for your loss. ❤❤❤
I remember hearing about a woman who died from water toxicity after taking part in a drinking competition hosted by a radio show. If I remember correctly they were sued because they knew about the risks
@@AlmightyPyro I think it was with not being able to urinate after drinking all that water. If I can recall correctly from my bio class that because she was unable to urinate it caused her water level in her body to rise which in turn will make your blood cells hypotonic (start to swell). And about the salt thing you said I think you meant not enough salt in her blood because she was going through hyponatremia which in layman's terms means that your blood doesn't have enough sodium.
La bière n hydrate pas ,le corps ne l'assimile pas dans les cellules et la rejette rapidement,donc les cellules ne se gorgent pas autant d eau,et elle a des electrolytes ( un peu de Sel )et personne de toutes façons ne peux boire 5 litres de bière en 1 heure,c est aussi pour ça que ça n arrive pas quand les gens boivent de l.alcool
What doesn't make sense is it wasn't that large an amount of water... obviously she had some health condition but the media will just omit that to make the story more click worthy
@@sheilaatif6906 there's a sickness some people have. They have to drink water all the time if they don't they die. And they have to drink way more than she did.
@@lindaallen5616 As long as they don't dilute the amount of electrolytes in their blood they should be okay. Dehydration and sweating can cause a mineral imbalance and drinking too much water without added minerals (salt, potassium, etc...) can worsen the effects of dehydration.
@@lindaallen5616well you have to make sure your electrolytes aren't imbalanced, so either a bit of salt in ya water or a Gatorade to keep stable sodium levels in ya blood.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advises people not to drink more than 48 ounces, or six cups, per hour. Too much water or other fluids, such as sports drinks, can cause a medical emergency because the concentration of salt in the blood becomes too low.
Most sports drinks contain less sodium than blood so basically can cause water toxicity. I am a kidney doctor and whenever my patients suffer from low blood sodium I give them a daily water restriction which includes things like juice and Gatorade
It does. I was walking earlier and felt a burp come up with food back up. And if it doesn't make you vomit you would feel the effects of all that water you ingested. She was even saying she had a headache and nobody did anything.
It’s sweltering hot in Texas where I live and this is exactly why I add electrolytes to my water when I’ve sweated a bunch, and I tell people to mix a bit of salt in a small cup of water and to not over drink the water as well. This needs to be like a PSA by the government in every state and county, everyone should be educated on this. I can’t even drink an entire bottle of water after being dehydrated, I feel sick in my stomach. So I make sure to get my sodium levels up.
Rule of thumb when you feel dehydrated is to drink electrolytes with your water and get out of the sun. And as always, too much of anything is dangerous. Condolences to the family. I feel really bad for the little ones 😔
The issue isn’t she drank too much water too fast, the issue is that she wasn’t used to it. Any avid gym goer could down 2 litres of water in 20 minutes. Because they’re active, and always consuming water. Preventing hydration instead of trying to cure it. This is actually a mass issue, I see far too many people not drinking ANY water and relying on soda / tea / coffee for hydration. We’ve come too far from our roots.
I feel like drinking 4 bottles of water that quick could easily happen to any of us. Especially me, I’m a sucker for water. I’ve drank 2-3 bottles of water within 20 minutes multiple times before. That’s so scary.
The amount itself is ok, but 4 in 20m, that's so fast. Sipping it would ensure staying healthy/at a good pace. And maybe adding a couple of grains of himalayan salt (it contains lots of minerals to help the water go into the cells).
I’ve drunk 6 or more on multiple occasions. Had no problems at all. But again, I’m a big man and quite obese. I’m not surprised that little woman couldn’t handle it.
@@hazelgoodshepherd9315 I think body size definitely factors in, but even as a heavy guy who tries to drink 1 gallon of water a day for weight loss, your body tells often rejects excess water. She would have felt uneasy. RIP.
@@vg1024 The other thing that baffles me is that when I've had my fill I can feel it in my gut and know to call it quits. What in the world happened with this much smaller person that she just kept going?
There was a young guy in my basic training who died from water intoxication. It is because the drill sergeants use to threaten us by saying if we get dehydrated and pass out we had abused government property. So we use to chug our canteens so we didn't dehydrated. The guy who died drank too much, but I blame the military.
"...threaten us by saying if we get dehydrated and pass out." If you get dehydrated and pass out WHAT? What was the threat? That sentence only makes sense if you say "... threaten us by saying IF WE GET dehydrated WE WILL PASS OUT." Your sentence makes no sense whatsoever...
@@BeccaHetrickthreat it basically dont pass out or else, obviously hes gonna make them do some kind of punishment that noone wants to do, does it even rly matter what it is
That's so messed up. My condolences go out to that guy's family and friends. What a horrible and COWARDLY thing to do to someone, let alone, in a military. 😞😓
Don't drink too much water, especially in this record-breaking heat. Mixed it up with fruits,Gatorade, coconut water,etc, but when it gets really hot just find somewhere to cool down. RIP to Ashley and others 🙏
RIP to this young lady. I literally just stopped drinking two bottles of water in one sitting after learning the dangers of it the other day and I was doing this for about four months.
So, you have literal proof that you're not drinking too much water and you're going to let MSM shape your mind. Lol. This woman drank GALLONS in a short amount of time. It's not easy to kill yourself with water toxicity.
RIP Ashley and my sincerest condolences to her family and friends. This is such a tragic story, I really had no idea that drinking too much water too quickly could lead to death. Ashley, you were taken away from your loved ones way too soon, but your story will serve as a warning and will save so many people from doing the same thing. Sending everyone love, comfort and strength
Back in elementary school me and my friends would have contests to see who could drink the most amount of full water bottles throughout the day. I never considered it to be bad because teachers always said how healthy drinking lots of water was. I remember one of the last times we did it I won with drinking a full 7 bottles by the end of the day. Nothing bad happened and I wasn't even feeling horrible or anything, but I'm realizing now it could've been a lot worse. yikes
Largest danger is extreme fluctuations. Like going from very dehydrated to drinking 2 liters at once. Or lack of electrolyte in the body through sweating it out. Many marathon runners suffered this. No electrolyte left and drinking too much. Basically the disbalance pumps your brain full of water and crushes it against the skull.
Yeah, my friends and I used to do similar things. Might've been pretty common actually. Really insane to think that something so seemingly harmless, under the surface, isn't actually so harmless.
I'm so sorry to hear that this woman died by drinking too much water. Water is good for you when drinking the right amounts of it but too much of it overtime can kill someone. I remembered one time I drank a little too much water and I ended up having a stomach ache feeling a little nauseous. That's because I kind of over did it trying to stay healthy. I'm glad I didn't end up in the hospital or God forbid dead.
4 bottles in 20 minutes is CRAZY!! They need to spread awareness of water intoxication, doctors glorify that drinking water is sooo healthy which it is but start stressing how bad it can be to drink too much of it also.
I used to work at a bakery that had no AC, i ince drank a lot of water at once because it was so hot, my stomach hurt but i was so hot, and i knew about water poisoning, and looking at this i know how she felt and why she did it. To anyone who is too hot and cannot cool down with water please get indoors or pour the water on you.
So sad that this happened to such a young, healthy woman. This proves that the human body is a very fragile living organism. And that’s why it’s important to know how much of good thing is too much. RIP and must be so hard for her kids and husband.
@user-fb2tn6wk5zNo back in your day you didn’t, you just lived around really unhealthy people. The average life span hasn’t been that low in awhile, my guy.
My heart goes out to the families who lost loved ones. I had extremely high BP, a friend said maybe your dehydrated, so I drank 3 or 4 cups of water over an hour and my blood pressure went down by 45 points! With extremely hot weather we need to hydrate all day long, even when not thirsty. Driving by, I saw a kid out in the hot sun, vomiting, I stopped to help, & called 911. He was really sick from heat stroke. Then I was at a WaWa & a teen was on the floor convulsing, 911 had been called, but her companion said they’d not had water for several hours & were outside where it was in the 90’s. (PS…coffee & soda don’t hydrate.)
This is an important lesson to not take too much of anything. Even too much water can kill you. But rest in peace to this families mother, and im sorry to the family for the lost
When I was 19 I had a random drug test and drank 8 water bottles within a 20 min period thru sheer will and fear of going to jail, I passed the test but I’m just now realizing how dangerous it was.
Geez. That doesn't seem like too much water. I've seen it as a paramedic but it's people who carry and drink gallons of water. My condolences to the family. Such a tragedy.
Like others said, it was a lot of water in a very short amount of time. Plus she started from a point of being dehydrated, so I imagine it was like how when you’re starving and suddenly eat lots of food your body can’t adjust and it can kill you.
Oh sheesh. This has happened to me, so maybe I am lucky. I was playing soccer a year ago and had bad cramp after the game. Therefore, I ended up drinking about 2L-3L of water in around 20 mins. I ended up spiralling into by far the most agonising headache I had ever felt, like a migraine on steroids, feeling extremely nauseous and dizzy… it was horrific.
Damn. Yeah for future reference, you need Electrolytes! Small amount of water, like 16 oz, plus a good serving of Electrolytes mixed in that water is all you need
@@Readysetgo2007 no, I treated it as a severe migraine headache which would go away. Looking back on it, I should’ve done. The headache was that bad, I just rested in bed, groaning as I attempted to breathe lmao. For context of what I can remember, the headache was a really severe pulsing headache, which throbbed from my lower neck and all across my entire head as if someone was squishing my brain 😅. Im usually good with pain too, I’ve broke a bunch of bones, but this headache was something else. Ugh, and it was all in my eyes and behind the back of my ears… so bad.
That's so crazy to hear. I regularly drink about 4-6 litres of water a day from working outside and have never felt those symptoms. Just the fact that some people it can only take 2 litres within 20 mins...kinda scary. Sorry for your loss. 😥
She most definitely had a medical condition, this is not normal, 2 liters in 20 mins is nothing and would never cause issues to a healthy person, she obviously had very low sodium and electrolyte levels and been overhydrating for days without compensating for the loss of sodium/electrolytes
How sad. Apparently one can only absorb 4 ounces of water every 30 minutes, on a cellular level. The rest of it will just flush through you. That’s how people who drink tons of water can still be dehydrated. Better to drink about 4 ounces intermittently throughout the day. One large gulp is about an ounce.
This reminds me of one specific thing my chemistry teacher in high school told us: “too much of anything is dangerous” RIP to this woman.

It's kind of scary of knowing that your body needs water to stay hydrated but still having to be careful of how much water your body actually needs. I'm glad to know this. So sorry this happened to her.
If she had people around her I'm surprised no one told her to slow down...
You need to sweat it out. I work outdoors so I keep hydrated. Drinking water without sweating it out isn’t good.
Not scary at all imo just don’t be dumb.
Too much of a good thing can be a bad thing and water is no exception.
@@Mariama_KaneFacts! The idea that she forced that much water into her stomach in such a short time is bizarre, I could understand if she was a bigger person she would have been fine but that was a lot of water
Kinda the same thing happened to me a few years ago. I had a severe lack of salt in my body after working in a uniform during a heat wave. I drank too much water overall, and far too much giving the lack of sodium in the system. It was horrible, I’ve never felt like that in my life. Endless thirst, headache and a disturbing sense of unreality and strange thoughts, I had to force myself to stay focused on my surroundings. The doctor told me to eat as much salt as I could, and to not drink a drop of water for 24 hours. I had about 5 liters of too much water in my body at the time. Please, don’t forget to eat extra salt during warm weather! If pure salt on your tounge tastes good, your body wants it. If it tastes bad, it’s enough.
Edit: Thank you so much for all the kind, heartwarming and interesting replies! :)
That's strain on kidney and bladder too
@@eyeswideopen7777 Exactly, there's more than one dangerous part about chugging water. If you already have low sodium in your blood, the water is going to pull out the remaining sodium and cause hyponatremia. All the more reason to put salt on watermelon!
Sorry you went though that
This is the reason why dehydration is best remedied not with plain water but with fluids that have electrolytes, particularly sodium (e.g. Gatorade, Pocari Sweat, oral rehydration solutions, etc.). What happened is that you had dilutional hyponatremia (whatever sodium in your body was diluted by the excess free water), exacerbated by sodium loss from sweating. Headache and changes in behavior and sensorium (wakefulness) happens because hyponatremia leads to cerebral edema, i.e. swelling of the brain. In severe cases, people die from this brain swelling.
@@Vendemiair I remember my grandmother always giving us watermelon with salt on a really hot day. Your thirst goes away almost immediately. It's actually really tasty too. You can drink water with it too, but there's no need to chug it.
I was drinking 6-8 bottles of water a day, and drinking other stuff too, and my doctor told me that was too much water. She told me 4 bottles a day was plenty. She didn't say you can die from it though. Prayers for her family and everyone who loved her.🙏♥️

8 bottles per day is perfectly fine, 4 bottles in 20 minutes is not.
@@ScottyPimpinATLThey said a day not in 20 minutes. There's a huge difference.
@@andrayday8064some people can take that as drinking 4 bottles all at once, and then calling it a day lol
Wrong maybe at once but not for 24 hours a day

Rest in peace poor woman. I remember for a school science project we were challenged by our teachers to drink as much water as we could. Looking back that was severely dangerous and some students were sick
You realize how goofy that sounds right?if your drinking over your limit over cause your gonna be sick
i love you
@@roachfiles9337 who?
Wow...(In how long a time??)
@@desratlinda8639 The class was an hour long! I have no idea how there were no parent complaints because a few did end up actually being sick
It’s surprising to me that her body didn’t refuse/vomit that excess of water first. So so heartbreaking
That's because her body wanted the water, just not that fast.
That's also a lot of weight/pressure to heave against. The weight of the water on top of whatever else might have been in her stomach at the time might have made it hard for the stomach lining to contract around it.
unfortunately the body doesn't see the water as a toxin (because it's water), so by the time it's over the limit of what her body can handle in such a short period of time it's already too late.
A person vomits due to the vomit center thinking a poison has been ingested. Hence the reason people suffer motion sickness. Water isn't a conventional toxin, it's necessary, but in high amounts it can be dangerous.
@@nebullae ur so pretty 😘😘😘

WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR GRANDMA?
SENDING MY CONDOLENCES.
I down 4 12 ounce beers in 20 minutes before happy hour ends and I am just getting started. I am actually shocked to hear this poor lady died from drinking 4 bottled waters.
This is a good reminder that water is bound to have a dark side. It literally gives me chills because I remember feeling nauseous and fainting out with seizure when I got overhydrated in Florida summer heat.
@@II-wx4kvI’m glad too. Now I’m scared of drinking water
@@LilXancheX Now that's just overreacting. Drinking water is essential to life. You have to really try to drink enough water quick enough for it to cause this. You're stomach will want you to puke after just a couple bottles. Sipping on water is never going to hurt you, just don't chug it.
You need sodium
@@twostormz2718 If you're sipping on water you should be a-ok.
For a few years now, I've been sometimes (like 1-2x a day) adding a few grains of himalayan salt to my glass of water. It contains lots of minerals that help transport water inside the cells.
I almost died from this as well. They tell us to stay hydrated by drinking water but what they've failed to tell us is that we also need sodium, potassium and magnesium (electrolytes). While drinking water to stay hydrated and sweating in the heat, we lose these. I now put sodium and potassium in my bottled water on a daily basis.
Correct because most bottle water is depleted of it. Unless it's Natural spring water like Icelandic, From the Source.
Exactly! I add LMNT to my water. Absolutely love it! Clean ingredients, and for the sweetened ones stevia is added. Or u can just get it w/o the stevia.

I’ve been working outside in Houston TX this summer and it’s been 100+ every day. I drink about 1 16 oz bottle of water every hour with electrolyte supplements every 3rd bottle and it’s kept me hydrated. If you ever feel like water is staying in your stomach to the point you can hear it slosh if you jump, stop drinking for a bit so your body can process it.
Thats an interesting thing you said at the end because sometimes after a heavy meal I feel so thirsty I drink a lot of water and I can hear the water in my tummy, and then soon after I start feeling sickly and regret ever eating or drinking so water. Gonna keep this in mind next time

@@mr.skeleton3190absorbed in the intestines to lubricate them, filtered through the kidneys then you pee
I never heard that before,dying because of too MUCH water,usually it's the other way around,like dying of dehydration,so I guess you learn something every day...
@@Dav458it’s easier to recover from dehydration than over hydration. Drinking too much water and not replenishing sodium/salt can be deadly and irreversible if not caught in time vs dehydration.
It is probably safer to drink five bottles of beer quickly than five bottles of water, your body just vomits the beer out, but the water is held in the system, imagine that!
That's not even the problem with most water intoxication. It's because they flush out too much sodium usually. Beer has sodium in it so youre good.
It's kinda sad to see that people don't know how to drink properly apparently ! I thought the thirst would be a sufficient indicator.
@@jemlesvideoI honestly believe it to b something tht kept them drinking like a thirst they couldn't quench y I'm not sure but maybe some toxin
@mepsiemopar8991 That's why u should add electrolytes to your water to quench your thirst, most of these water bottles have no nkthing, Hence u drink more water. ppl forget such basic things.
@@jimibaked4235I agree! They said she was drinking the water because she thought she was dehydrated.
I've drank a ton of water at six flags on very hot days and it didn't harm me at all. But I was truly dehydrated.
As someone who had to spend a full week at the hospital due to water intoxication I can confirm that it’s definitely not a joke. It dilutes your electrolytes specifically your sodium levels and it can screw with you mentally and somewhat physically. I was having anxiety attacks and I constantly felt tired, thirsty, confused, and dealt with serious muscle cramps. I was going to the ER so many times it was out of control. One day I called the nursing line for any suggestions telling them the symptoms I was experiencing and was told to go the hospital within 24 hours. At first I was reluctant but doubled down on the decision to go and called the ambulance to take me there. When I arrived they found my sodium level to be 111 which is considered severe. Your sodium level is supposed to be between 135-145 to be in the normal range. Had I not gone to the hospital to get my situation taken care of I wouldn’t be here telling you all about my experience. It’s been a year and I’m still alive and doing much better! Drinking water is good but don’t drink too little to dehydrate yourself and don’t drink too much to overhydrate yourself. Make sure you consume sports drinks to replenish your electrolytes. Never take your electrolytes for granted.
Sorry you have to went through that,it sound scary
@@melissagrant4178 Thank you! It was a nightmare. I’m just glad I got it taken care of before it got any worse.
Because I do a lot of moving around at work, I drink electrolyte water. Def good advice.
I drink a lot of water, way more than my friends and family who drink tons of soda and coffee, so I thought I was being healthy. But I've been very ill and dehydrated the past few months, my doctors kept telling me I was dehydrated and needed to drink more water. I didn't understand how I could be dehydrated when I drink so much water, but now I am realizing that I probably have electrolyte imbalances. Usually I drink a lot of water and avoid sodium because I thought salt was totally unhealthy and drives up your BP. But now I'm thinking I must not be getting enough. I checked my medical records and my sodium was recorded as low, but no doctor ever discussed this with me. They don't give a damn lol💀
@@levithebaddest2369 Too much sodium is unhealthy, but salt in itself is an essential nutrient. As long as you aren't eating a ton of fast food or eating out at restaurants too often (restaurants and fast food places tend to over-salt everything) and you aren't sprinkling extra salt on top of every dish you eat at home, you should be just fine.
Theres more to this because i just drank a gallon of water in about 2 hours
This is so very sad! It's something that we don't hear about very often. Deepest sympathies to her family.
I remember I almost passed out drinking to much water. In this Texas heat, I didn’t know it was such a thing.

I agree... I mean I drink a lot of water and never have that problem but.... Wow 😳
I remember hearing about a woman who died from water toxicity after taking part in a drinking competition hosted by a radio show. If I remember correctly they were sued because they knew about the risks
I do remember this too. Something about salt in the water
Oh I heard about this! I think they got fired afterwards and I think the FCC were fined a lot of money for that
Doctors called in to that to show to tell them how dangerous it was, and they were mocked on air. They deserve that lawsuit
just for a Nintendo Wii
@@AlmightyPyro I think it was with not being able to urinate after drinking all that water. If I can recall correctly from my bio class that because she was unable to urinate it caused her water level in her body to rise which in turn will make your blood cells hypotonic (start to swell). And about the salt thing you said I think you meant not enough salt in her blood because she was going through hyponatremia which in layman's terms means that your blood doesn't have enough sodium.
its crazy how you see people chug a 6 pack a beer in less than an hour but chugging 6 bottles of water in an hour is fatal.
Go ahead and keep drinking.
If she would have drunk mineral water or tap water, it would not have happened.
@@tairikuokami False, the liver can only handle so much liquid per hour, electrolytes or not.
La bière n hydrate pas ,le corps ne l'assimile pas dans les cellules et la rejette rapidement,donc les cellules ne se gorgent pas autant d eau,et elle a des electrolytes ( un peu de Sel )et personne de toutes façons ne peux boire 5 litres de bière en 1 heure,c est aussi pour ça que ça n arrive pas quand les gens boivent de l.alcool

@@sheilaatif6906 there's a sickness some people have. They have to drink water all the time if they don't they die. And they have to drink way more than she did.
Water intoxication
@@lindaallen5616 As long as they don't dilute the amount of electrolytes in their blood they should be okay. Dehydration and sweating can cause a mineral imbalance and drinking too much water without added minerals (salt, potassium, etc...) can worsen the effects of dehydration.
@@lindaallen5616well you have to make sure your electrolytes aren't imbalanced, so either a bit of salt in ya water or a Gatorade to keep stable sodium levels in ya blood.
Moderation is the key. Too much of anything is harmful.
This is why you should never have a water drinking competition.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advises people not to drink more than 48 ounces, or six cups, per hour. Too much water or other fluids, such as sports drinks, can cause a medical emergency because the concentration of salt in the blood becomes too low.
Sports drinks contain plenty of salts. That's the electrolytes.
Most sports drinks contain less sodium than blood so basically can cause water toxicity.
I am a kidney doctor and whenever my patients suffer from low blood sodium I give them a daily water restriction which includes things like juice and Gatorade
That’s so unfortunate, you’d think our bodies would force us to vomit
It does. I was walking earlier and felt a burp come up with food back up. And if it doesn't make you vomit you would feel the effects of all that water you ingested. She was even saying she had a headache and nobody did anything.
Ya i was thinking the same thing
Prayers to the entire families 🙏🏾💛

@@EatYourCookies_you can drink it not too fast. Gallon a day is good
It’s sweltering hot in Texas where I live and this is exactly why I add electrolytes to my water when I’ve sweated a bunch, and I tell people to mix a bit of salt in a small cup of water and to not over drink the water as well. This needs to be like a PSA by the government in every state and county, everyone should be educated on this. I can’t even drink an entire bottle of water after being dehydrated, I feel sick in my stomach. So I make sure to get my sodium levels up.
thanks for the advice
Why? Everyone should know this. It’s basic knowledge that too much of everything is bad.
I live in PA but we had a 90 degree day last year in May and I ended up in the hospital with Hyponatremia.
Rule of thumb when you feel dehydrated is to drink electrolytes with your water and get out of the sun. And as always, too much of anything is dangerous. Condolences to the family. I feel really bad for the little ones 😔
The issue isn’t she drank too much water too fast, the issue is that she wasn’t used to it. Any avid gym goer could down 2 litres of water in 20 minutes. Because they’re active, and always consuming water. Preventing hydration instead of trying to cure it. This is actually a mass issue, I see far too many people not drinking ANY water and relying on soda / tea / coffee for hydration. We’ve come too far from our roots.
I almost died from this and got hospitalized for 10 days. Please be careful in this heat 🙏

The amount itself is ok, but 4 in 20m, that's so fast. Sipping it would ensure staying healthy/at a good pace. And maybe adding a couple of grains of himalayan salt (it contains lots of minerals to help the water go into the cells).

It is because the drill sergeants use to threaten us by saying if we get dehydrated and pass out we had abused government property. So we use to chug our canteens so we didn't dehydrated.

That happened to me once. I didn’t know that could be deadly. I was apparently fortunate and puked up a lot of water.
Definitely a message out for all of us, I’m sorry that this had to happen that way.. wish she would’ve made it in the hospital.
Back in elementary school me and my friends would have contests to see who could drink the most amount of full water bottles throughout the day. I never considered it to be bad because teachers always said how healthy drinking lots of water was. I remember one of the last times we did it I won with drinking a full 7 bottles by the end of the day. Nothing bad happened and I wasn't even feeling horrible or anything, but I'm realizing now it could've been a lot worse. yikes
Largest danger is extreme fluctuations. Like going from very dehydrated to drinking 2 liters at once.
Or lack of electrolyte in the body through sweating it out. Many marathon runners suffered this. No electrolyte left and drinking too much. Basically the disbalance pumps your brain full of water and crushes it against the skull.
Yeah, my friends and I used to do similar things. Might've been pretty common actually. Really insane to think that something so seemingly harmless, under the surface, isn't actually so harmless.
The government is putting poison in the water, the water us not water it is fake water
But she was dehydrated so you can’t drink rapid, when you guys did the challenge you were probably not dehydrated so it fine (up to a certain amount)

I'm so sorry to hear that this woman died by drinking too much water. Water is good for you when drinking the right amounts of it but too much of it overtime can kill someone. I remembered one time I drank a little too much water and I ended up having a stomach ache feeling a little nauseous. That's because I kind of over did it trying to stay healthy. I'm glad I didn't end up in the hospital or God forbid dead.
4 bottles in 20 minutes is CRAZY!! They need to spread awareness of water intoxication, doctors glorify that drinking water is sooo healthy which it is but start stressing how bad it can be to drink too much of it also.
I used to work at a bakery that had no AC, i ince drank a lot of water at once because it was so hot, my stomach hurt but i was so hot, and i knew about water poisoning, and looking at this i know how she felt and why she did it. To anyone who is too hot and cannot cool down with water please get indoors or pour the water on you.

It happened to me working at Walmart pushing carts, its very very painful, and nothing ive ever felt before. Its no joke guys be safe out there!
My heart goes out to the families who lost loved ones. I had extremely high BP, a friend said maybe your dehydrated, so I drank 3 or 4 cups of water over an hour and my blood pressure went down by 45 points! With extremely hot weather we need to hydrate all day long, even when not thirsty. Driving by, I saw a kid out in the hot sun, vomiting, I stopped to help, & called 911. He was really sick from heat stroke. Then I was at a WaWa & a teen was on the floor convulsing, 911 had been called, but her companion said they’d not had water for several hours & were outside where it was in the 90’s. (PS…coffee & soda don’t hydrate.)

When I was 19 I had a random drug test and drank 8 water bottles within a 20 min period thru sheer will and fear of going to jail, I passed the test but I’m just now realizing how dangerous it was.
Geez. That doesn't seem like too much water. I've seen it as a paramedic but it's people who carry and drink gallons of water. My condolences to the family. Such a tragedy.
It’s lots of water too quickly
Within 20 min though is way too much, too quickly.
In twenty minutes not all day!
Like others said, it was a lot of water in a very short amount of time. Plus she started from a point of being dehydrated, so I imagine it was like how when you’re starving and suddenly eat lots of food your body can’t adjust and it can kill you.
I’ve definitely chugged half a gallon in 20 minutes I do it all the time. Everyone’s body is different
Oh sheesh. This has happened to me, so maybe I am lucky.
I was playing soccer a year ago and had bad cramp after the game. Therefore, I ended up drinking about 2L-3L of water in around 20 mins. I ended up spiralling into by far the most agonising headache I had ever felt, like a migraine on steroids, feeling extremely nauseous and dizzy… it was horrific.

@@Readysetgo2007 no, I treated it as a severe migraine headache which would go away. Looking back on it, I should’ve done. The headache was that bad, I just rested in bed, groaning as I attempted to breathe lmao.
For context of what I can remember, the headache was a really severe pulsing headache, which throbbed from my lower neck and all across my entire head as if someone was squishing my brain 😅. Im usually good with pain too, I’ve broke a bunch of bones, but this headache was something else.
Ugh, and it was all in my eyes and behind the back of my ears… so bad.
@@Black_VoidXx Aha. Hope that doesn't happen again. Happy you survived. 🙂💜
That's so crazy to hear. I regularly drink about 4-6 litres of water a day from working outside and have never felt those symptoms. Just the fact that some people it can only take 2 litres within 20 mins...kinda scary. Sorry for your loss. 😥
I guess she was low in sodium?
@@johanna2690 She drank too much too soon.
She most definitely had a medical condition, this is not normal, 2 liters in 20 mins is nothing and would never cause issues to a healthy person, she obviously had very low sodium and electrolyte levels and been overhydrating for days without compensating for the loss of sodium/electrolytes
RIP Super Sad for sure.
Shows how fragile life can be, imagine dying, from drinking 4 water bottles when thirsty
The lesson of today is a reminder of TOO MUCH OF ANYTHING IS ALWAYS BAD. RIP Ashley
How awful, prayers to the family and friends of this dear woman, may God comfort her loved ones while they mourn her passing.
Now that’s a unique way of going out. Great learning experience for everyone.
How sad. Apparently one can only absorb 4 ounces of water every 30 minutes, on a cellular level. The rest of it will just flush through you. That’s how people who drink tons of water can still be dehydrated.
Better to drink about 4 ounces intermittently throughout the day. One large gulp is about an ounce.
Rest in peace.
