Woman Dies for a Wii

[Teuthida]

I used to be (and thus now far too careful) afraid of water poisoning after getting headaches and other odd feelings from drinking too much. Most cases involve a large quantity but one can poison oneself with as little as 1.8 liters of water in a single sitting for someone with a low-sodium diet or 3 liters for a person on a normal diet. One time I truly thought I was dying and downed as much salt and potato chips as I could to try to fix myself. Long story short, I didn't die.

It's funny when you hear people say "you can drink as much water as you like, the more the better". So I tried it as I'm going to the gym and taking creatine you need to drink a lot of water. Sometimes if I had too much, I felt sick, had headaches was weird.

Goes back to the "everything in moderation" saying.

most people that "OD" on extacy (sp?) actually die from drinking to much water.
