Man Almost Dies After Overdosing On Water
Believe it or not, a man drank so much water after a gym session that it almost killed him.
Richard Dyer, 23, was admitted to hospital with severe water intoxication after downing five litres during a gruelling two-hour weights session.
What kind of workout requires that much water consumption?
Doctors called it a “near lethal dose” and said he was lucky to be alive after the extremely rare condition led to widespread muscle seizures and kidney failure.
Water needs to be outlawed.

lol natural selection.
Same thing happened where I live…it was a radio contest to see who could drink the most water without going to the bathroom. The winner got a Nintendo Wii…the woman who ‘won’ drank so much water that she was admitted to the hospital and died. Just goes to show that too much of anything can be a bad thing.
Water intoxication is not *that* uncommon. In fact every substance is lethal, it’s all just in the amount.
Damn that Dihydrogen Monoxide! It’s lethal stuff.
That’s it i knew water was dangerous no more water for me!
