Friend almost died from “water poisoning.”

[RAMd®d]

I have to wonder if this person was following some "miracle diet".


I'd certainly expect some specific motivation to drink the required level of water over a short time, as seemed to be the case of the few references I've seen.

Without that, I just can't imagine someone sitting around and drinking that much water.

I'd expect someone would just get bored or 'full' and back away.
