It is actually a serious thing that can result in digestive problems, behavioral changes, brain damage, seizures, or coma. Of course frequent urination would be an obvious symptom.

It can create a problem called dilutional hyponatremia a.k.a. "water intoxication" in which the sodium in your system can become too dilute. Sodium and potassium regulate the fluid volume in the cells and in the blood because sodium pulls fluid into the blood while potassium pulls fluid into the cells.
If the sodium becomes too dilute, too much fluid will be pulled into the cells and the cells will start rupturing. The symptoms can include headaches, nausea, coma, and death.
This happens when drinking too much water without adding electrolytes. That is why marathoners and triathletes are highly recommended to have electrolyte replenishment drinks.
Here are a couple of links about water and about sodium

you can drown your blood cells. you are only supposed to have so much water in your body. if you have more than that, your body won't know what to do with the extra moisture.
