Two tragic examples: In 2005, a man died after a fraternity hazing ritual where he had to chug water from a jug over and over again. In 2007, a California woman died after participating in a water-drinking contest hosted by a local radio station. The cause of death in both cases was water intoxication, which is when someone drinks so much water in a short amount of time that the kidneys can't process it quickly enough, causing deadly swelling of the brain and lungs. It has also happened to athletes during extreme sporting events; as well as to people taking club drugs, who feel insatiable thirst and end up drinking too much water too quickly. Stay safe: Don't ever force yourself to drink when you aren't thirsty. And don't do MDMA, Molly, or ecstasy.
