    There'd prolly be a point where you pour water into your mouth and it just won't go down. Or when you drown

    You would probably throw up long before you would pop. You would also urinate. But it could do damage to the lungs.

    Its not the amount in your stomach that would kill you, unless it fills your lungs of course no dahhhh, its the saturation point of the cells going round your body that would kill you, if they go pop then your dead, camels have rugby shaped red cells to help them cope more with the dramatic expansion which ocours when they gourge themselves at the water hole !.

    I think if you drank too much water you stomach would just not allow any more to go in it. as a result you would probably vomit if you tried to drink more. The Sto-Mach is elastic and made to stretch to its contents.

    Sto - Latin for Storage
    Mach - The speed of sound.

    pretty simple word breakdown.

    if you drink too much too fast youll have to exspell it some how... most likely your piloric phynxster (whatever its called) will rupture, eventully you will get diareha... plus your kidneys would blow up before your stomach does.... i guess you would throw up before any real damage occurs, buy your kidneys would still be toast!


    ever see Naked Gun 2 1/2, where he sticks the fire hose in the guys mouth... thats how much water itll take for you to "BLOW UP"

    Believe it or not, people have died from drinking too much water.

    It depends on the person, the bodyweight, et cetera - but at a certain point, the amount of water in your body will so badly upset the hypotonic balance (gradient) of your cells that your cells will basically explode, and you'll die.

    That's a very, very simplified explanation, but I'm sure you can read more about it if you look it up on the internet.

    ps. Good idea ralph.

    You are supposed to drink 8 glasses of water a day. I sure as hell could drink 15 glasses in one sitting if I wanted to.
