Question of the Day - August 17, 2008
Is it unhealthy to drink too much water?
Yes, drinking too much water can result in water intoxication. Water intoxication is caused when the normal balance of electrolytes in the body is pushed outside of safe limits by drinking too much water. However, it typically only occurs during water drinking contests or during extreme physical exercise where the body loses large amounts of sodium and electrolytes.
