I've heard that too much water creates the same effect as being drunk as it thins the blood out. Also you're pee would be as crystal clear as the jamacan sea.
Water poisoning only becomes a risk if you try to consume huge amounts in a matter of minutes. And your bet was 46 cups in 24 hours? That's less than 2 cups an hour. Nothing dangerous about that.
dont be stupid and do it.. research water poisoning first and then check if its safe (its probably not) A few kids have died because of drinking too much water... well thats what my teacher said
you might die from that. there's such a thing as too much water. you'll drown your cells.quiglythegreat
It doesn't drown the cells. :lol: It dilutes the cells. The cells in our nervous system need a certain percentage of sodium. Drinking too much water messes that balance up.
Don't listen to these people worrying about water poisoning. Go for it. If you win: you get $20. If you die: at least you don't have to give her the money. It's a win-win situation.
Maybe you should research first how much you have to drink before you get water poisoning. It might not be worth $20.Engrish_Major
Worth repeating. If you assume a cup = 250 mL, then you're talking about 11.5 L of water in a day.
Actually, your body probably could take that -- when out on operations, Canadian Forces soldiers are required by regulations to drink about 1 L per hour. But the point is that they are out in the field, giving their bodies time to absorb and expel the water as needed.
If you tried to do it all at once, you'd take ill, almost certainly.
What are you waiting for, TC? 2 cups of water per hour. You can spend 1 minute drinking while your body has 59 minutes to absorb it and whatnot. :|kingdre
That's if he stays up all night which in itself is not worth doing for $20. Is the TC 5 years old or something? I can't believe $20 is so much to him/her that they are willing to do this all day.
"Nearly all deaths related to water intoxication in normal individuals have resulted either from water drinking contests, in which individuals attempt to consume more than 10 liters (3 gallons) of water over the course of just a few minutes,"
You're looking at about 11 litres in a whole day. Not a few minutes. No harm there.

It's the principle that his sister would be down $20. It's more than worth it.

That's up to him and how badly he wants it. He can drink 3 cups per hour and still have time to spare.
is it hot outside where you are, right now? chill outside, and then time it so that you can do 2 or 3 glasses of water each hour. are we talking about drinking glasses, or an actual measured cup of water? because 3 "cups" of water, really isn't that much, but if you are trying to drink 46 Big Gulps, you may regret it.
i think you can do this. and be sure to take pictures and post them. i want to see how you look after being up for nearly 24 hours drinking water.
at least get that in writing and hand it to someone else, that way when CSI comes they'll see that your sister was the one that killed you, or else she'll just play dumb and say "I didn't know what was happening"
Hey, I didn't think of that. Find like the most novelly small cup you can, or maybe even a Dixie cup would suffice. That, I believe, is called "pwnage."
Word, and I think you can do 46 cups of water easily in a day. 46 cups is like 2.75 gallons-ish...thats easily doo-able in a day, just have like 8 glasses ever couple of hours and it will go fast!
