I think you might wanna read this:
Water intoxication, also known as
water poisoning or dilutional
hyponatremia, is a potentially fatal
disturbance in brain functions that
results when the normal balance of
electrolytes in the body is pushed
outside safe limits (e.g., hyponatremia)
by overhydration (i.e., over-
consumption of water).
Under normal circumstances,
accidentally consuming too much water
is exceptionally rare. Nearly all deaths
related to water intoxication in normal
individuals have resulted either from
water drinking contests in which
individuals attempt to consume large
amounts of water, or long bouts of
intensive exercise during which
electrolytes are not properly
replenished, yet huge amounts of fluid
are still consumed.[1] Moreover, water
cure, a method of torture in which the
victim is forced to consume excessive
amounts of water, can cause water
intoxication.
Water, just like any other substance,
can be considered a poison when over-
consumed in a specific period of time.
Water intoxication mostly occurs when
water is being consumed at a high
quantity without giving the body its
proper nutrients it needs to be healthy.
Excess of body water may also be a
result of a medical condition or
improper treatment; see
" hyponatremia" for some examples.

Notable cases
Leah Betts died on November 16,
1995 as the result of drinking too
much water, though in the media her
death was initially attributed to
taking an ecstasy tablet at her 18th
birthday party.
On September 12, 1999, US Air Force
basic trainee Micah J. Schindler died
of heat stroke, severely complicated
by water intoxication, two days after
becoming seriously ill during a 5.8
miles (9.3 km) march. The Air Force
changed its recruit training
procedures as a result.
On June 9, 2002, 4-year-old
Cassandra Killpack of Springville,
Utah died as a result of water
intoxication when her parents
forcefully fed her as much as one US
gallon (3.8 l) of water in a short
period while she was being
disciplined. Her mother, Jennette
Killpack, was convicted in 2005 of
child abuse homicide.
On October 12, 2002, 3-year-old
Rosita Gonzalez of Hollywood, Florida
died of water intoxication when her
babysitter Nancy Gayoso punished
her by forcing her to drink three US
quarts (2.8 l) of water in a four-hour
period. Gayoso was arrested
and charged with murder in the first
degree on March 10, 2003. After
being declared incompetent to stand
trial in 2004 and 2005, Gayoso
was found competent on March 26,
2007.
In 2003, Walter Dean Jennings, a
freshman history major at SUNY
Plattsburgh, was pledging the Psi
Epsilon Chi "when he was forced to
drink urine, stay awake for days and
consume vast amounts of alcohol
during a 10-day initiation and hazing
process." According to
PressRepublican.com, "On his last
night of pledging the unrecognized
fraternity, the 18-year-old was forced
to drink gallons of water through a
funnel, which caused his brain to
swell from water intoxication and
ultimately resulted in his death."
Eleven members of the fraternity
were charged with criminally
negligent homicide.
In a much-publicized case of
fraternity hazing, four members of
the Chi Tau House at California State
University, Chico pleaded guilty to
forcing 21-year-old student Matthew
Carrington to drink excessive
amounts of water while performing
calisthenics in a frigid basement as
part of initiation rites on February 2,
2005.He collapsed and died of
heart failure due to water
intoxication.
On January 12, 2007, Jennifer
Strange, a 28-year-old woman and a
mother of three, from Rancho
Cordova, California, was found dead
in her home by her mother, hours
after trying to win one of Nintendo's
Wii game consoles. KDND 107.9 "The
End" radio station's "Hold Your Wee
for a Wii" contest, involved drinking
large quantities of water without
urinating. A nurse called the radio
station to warn them about the
danger in which they were putting
people, but the disc jockeys rejected
the warnings. Lucy Davidson, the
winner of the contest, was severely
sickened while picking up her prize.
Civil charges against the radio station
were filed by Jennifer's family,[20]
and the family was eventually
awarded $16.5 million in the ensuing
wrongful death lawsuit. The FCC
launched its own investigation to
determine if the station violated the
terms of its operating license.
In 2008 Jacqueline Henson, a 40-year-
old British woman, died after drinking
four liters of water in under two hours
as part of her LighterLife diet plan.

Other notable fatalities due to water
intoxication include Australian
schoolgirl Anna Wood (although
similar to Leah Betts, her death was
incorrectly attributed to ecstasy use),
2002 Boston Marathon
competitor Cynthia Lucero, and
Washington, D.C. police officer James
McBride.
British actor Anthony Andrews
survived a case of water intoxication
in 2003. He was performing as Henry
Higgins in a revival of the musical My
Fair Lady at the time, and consumed
up to eight litres of water a day. He
was unconscious and in intensive
care for three days.
Jonathan Paul Dent, 29, became lost
during a four-hour walk through
Tasmania's Dial Range on April 19,
2011. He called his wife a number of
times to say he was lost. Rescue
crews found his body in bushland two
days later. The coroner found that Mr
Dent most likely died from exercise-
associated hyponatremia (EAH), a
condition caused by drinking too
much fluid during prolonged exercise.

You can contact a condition known as water intoxication, hyperhydration or water poisoning. This results from the normal balance of electrolytes in the body being unbalanced. This condition can result in death as the functioning of your brain, muscles and heart.

sanb: Okay; when drinking water; I agree that its not advisable to drink a full litre at a go; its rather more advisable to space it out throughout the day which is what I do with the 2 litres I drink a day…In all, drinking lots of water a day is still a good remedy for cleansing the system…

ckkris:

Its very important to BE SIPPING WATER THROUGH THE DAY.

vb0mb:

if you were to give a report give a good report. What are the negative effects of drinking excess water?

Reference:

Hmm. Good, clean, mineralised water is becoming expensive and is definitely not abundant anymore.

E.nuels:
There are no negative effects of drinking excess water, even if there should be it will be very little. One of the disadvantages could only be frequent urination, which will go a long way in washing away harmful toxins from the body; this is my opinion. Nuels

jamp:

bee444: I seldom drink water, don't know why. Lucazade all day.
