Actually, excessive hydration can kill you. In fact a number of athletes & military have died from over hydration.

There was a story about this several weeks ago on FR.

But the amount of water was so excessive it was ridiculous.

It told the story of one young Army woman who died from over-hydration. But it was discovered that SHE DRANK THREE GALLONS OF WATER IN ONE HOUR to gain weight in order to fail her height/weight test.

I missed the story but had a notion that the quantity must be quite high.

But the amount of water was so excessive it was ridiculous.......THREE GALLONS OF WATER IN ONE HOUR

On days where I run in the early AM & do a lot of outdoor work, drinking 1.5 to 2 gal./day is not uncommon. Haven't noticed any ill effects yet.
