Drunk on water. (yeah, that's right)

About two years ago, while I was in the Airforce, they hit me with an unexpected drug test. They said I could not go to sleep until I had peed in this cup. I knew I was in trouble, because in the military, they make some old hairy dude stand next to you and watch you pee. I can never do it on command. If a lady is standing there, that's one thing, but another guy? I freak out and nothing good happens.
So, I knew that I had to drink a LOT of water.
They gave me one of those little paper/wax water cups. I took three of them, and filled them up over and over, constantly drinking water. I hadn't drank much of anything all day. I kept drinking water, but I could not pee for about three or four hours.
Before too long I began to feel funny. I thought it was my imagination, but the more water I drank, the more I felt drunk!
By the time I got done peeing and got upstairs to my quarters, I was so messed up I could hardly walk. It was not a good drunk feeling. I was so sick. I collapsed on my bed and tried to go to sleep.
Then I threw up.

...I have a drinking problem...

also, do a google search for a girl named "Leah Betts"

Although I've never experienced it, I'm familiar with that conditon (I usually call it hyponatremia). I'm a biker, and when I go on long rides, I have to be sure to drink plenty of electrolytes, because I can drink a lot of water.

If you must feed your addiction, drink some gatorade. :-P Sports drinks prevent hyponatremia 'cause of all the salt and other electrolytes in them.

proof that you can indeed get too much of a good thing.

there was a story on the news, cant remember if it was local or national, but there was this guy taking part in a hazing ritual-if i remember correctly-and he was made to drink a full vessel of water, you know those big containers that you place upside down on those water fountains that they have in many workplaces? it was one of those. and he died, too. they said that he basically drowned to death on a cellular level. it sounded pretty horrendous.

Yeah, I heard a story a while back about a girl who tried a drug (cant remember which one) that made you thirsty, and she drank so much that the water was channeled to her brain which expanded and eventually killed her.

So, anyone one get together and have a party with lots of WATER?
We could get wasted together, and go DIE.

So I was on a ski lift this one time with this random guy, right? So it turns out he's a track coach and an old marathon runner so we get talking about running, right? Anyway he was talking to me about this girl that he knew who he happened to be running a marathon with this one time. So she drinks a lot of water and she's acting funny. Of course, when you're running a marathon you go through all kinds of delirium so he didn't think much of it. Suddenly, she collapses. I guess she was so fucked up on water and on running that she didn't realise how much she had been drinking. Think of the last time when you were too fucked up already and someone keeps handing you beers, well it was exactly like that except with water, and a thousand or so more opportunities to grab one. So she just keeps drinking all that free water and she becomes hyponotremic and is running no longer in a marathon but some kind of water/fatigue trip. Anyway she got rushed to the hospital and almost died, but she was alright.

the end.

edit: oh and patrick, sounds like something ecstasy would do. People I see on that are always drinking 5-gallon jugs of water, I always wonder how they avoid hypotension.
