A family in Indiana is mourning the loss of a 35-year-old mother-of-two who they said died after drinking 64 ounces of water in 20 minutes.

Weird. This doesn't seem like a crazy amount of water outside on a super hot day.

I remember we had some note on us in Basic stating that we would drink between blank, but not to exceed blank canteens per hour.
Someone had recently died of hyponatremia.

SUDDEN and UNEXPECTED death of the waxxxxxxxinated must be investigated to determine if the death was waxxxxxxxxxine related.

My urologist would have probably said “Well done. good for you!”

He wants me to drink as much water as humanly possible (kidney stones)

Yup. Especially since she was supposedly dehydrated at the start.

My guess is that she wasn't dehydrated and the headaches were from, *ahem*, something else.

It happened to me and it’s not pleasant - you have to get that IV of electrolytes in there ASAP. Even so I was in the hospital for a couple of days.

The amount probably to some extent depends on your body size and weight, but you don’t really know your tolerance so a general guideline is good.

But the moral of the story is don’t drink plain water - always something with electrolytes or even a sweetened beverage.

I use Liquid IV powdered electrolytes to put into my water bottle when I’m doing outdoor activities. Highly recommended!

I dunno, half a gallon in 20 minutes is a LOT of water. Her stomach must have been very distended!

No it doesn’t sound like that much. That is 4 or those small size bottles of water. And she was feeling weird before. I think something else is going on.

She more than likely depleted her salt levels.

You’re right.

If she really was dehydrated, 2 quarts of water should not have killed her with water intoxication.
