"Drinking something that can cause you pass out and die is not a considered a health drink."

Here you go - don't drink too much water and if you're in Mexico don't drink any water at all. I recommend Corona - La Cerveza Mas Fino En Todo El Mundo - but I don't go to Mexico anymore. Period. ;-)

Can drinking excessive amounts of pure water kill you?

ChatGPT

Yes, drinking excessive amounts of pure water can be fatal. This condition is known as water intoxication or hyponatremia.

It occurs when the balance of electrolytes in your body is disrupted by a large intake of water, which dilutes the sodium levels in your blood. Sodium is crucial for maintaining fluid balance in and around cells, and a significant drop in sodium levels can lead to severe health issues.

Symptoms of water intoxication include headache, nausea, vomiting, confusion, seizures, and in severe cases, coma and death. The kidneys of a healthy adult can excrete about 0.8 to 1.0 liters of water per hour, so consuming water much faster than this rate can overwhelm the body's ability to maintain the proper balance of fluids and electrolytes.

So - Not a doc but more than a half a litre of pure water per hour can be fatal. Don't know why but I can easily put 3X that amount of Corona away and be fine. Not to mention the Tequila.

You're comparing drinking too much water to brutal alcohol related carnage? Graveyards are full of drunks and their victims. Tell me, among the dead, what do you think the percentage is from those who drank too much water?
