I have drank 10 gallons of water today. Could water intoxication kick in later?

Question

I was feeling depressed as hell today and just felt like I wanted to wash all the bad feelings out of my body with water so I went and bought 72 bottles of Nestle water because they had them on sale at walmart and I just flipped out. So yeah I drank like 10 in about 5 minutes (16.9oz each) and then I freaked out and thought I was going to die but I didnt so since then Ive drank the rest of them and I just added it up and its 9.5 gallons. I've been measuring my urine though and I've only pissed 4 milk jugs and a little bit and I am not feeling well and I weighed myself and I only have gained 23lbs and it doesnt ake sense because if I have only peed out 4 gallons that means i should have 5 gallons left in my body and 1 gallon of water weighs 8lbs so that should be 40lbs. But I weighed myself every 10 minutes and its not changing. I am sworried maybe the water is going to go to my brain and I dont want to die, I dont know why I've done this. It's not a joke I dont know where else to post.

Answer 1

If it's not a joke, and you are really concerned, then you know where you should be.....don't you?

Water intoxication is deadly

Answer 2

lol

man, you gonna die. After 72 hours your heart will explode and your brain will implode.

Within 48 hours all the toxins will swell your liver and the cells in your body will disassociate and become amoebas.

Oh yeah, your testicles or ovaries will also begin to sing songs in sanskrit.

If I told you that eating dirt from a race track is good for you would you do it? Water intoxication is not a good idea, it is something that addicts do to get a rush and tells me you are not mentally stable. Please seek real help, not from Yahoo Answers.

Answer 3

first of all i don't think it's possible that you drank 10 gallons of water in one day. second if you managed to get down like 6 you'd throw some of it up. your body has lots of defenses against stupidity, vomitting is one of them.

watch for swelling of the extremities and a cough. basically gonna be cautious for third spacing and fluid build up in the lungs. if you feel any of these, then i'd go be seen. think before you drink!

Answer 4

YES There is a condition called water intoxication which can kill. To much water reduces electrolyte levels in the blood and this can be lethal

Answer 5

You can easily lose a little weight by simply drinking cold water. Your body must burn a few calories to heat the water up to body temperature. It burns a few more calories to temporarily carry the weight of the water. That's that many fewer calories that are available for your weight.
The potential weight loss is not "a miracle," but in a year you could lose as much as 5 pounds by drinking cold water and making no other changes in your diet or activity. In addition, there might be some other health benifits. Remember, dieting isn't a race. Weight loss shouldn't be rushed.
In no case should anyone start a weight loss diet, or change their ordinary eating habits without consulting a medical doctor. This is especially true for persons in delicate health, senior citizens and/or women who are pregnant or nursing.
For most persons it takes between 1450 and 3500 calories (that is, "kilocalories," or thousands of regular calories) to make one pound of body weight. To lose a pound of weight, a dieter must remove that many calories from his/her intake of food. If we take the "average", you could say that cutting about 2500 calories from your diet results in the lose of one pound a body weight.
Now, suppose you drank water that was 50 degrees Fahrenheit. (Ordinary refrigerated water is generally about 10 degrees colder.) Your body must burn a few calories to heat the cold water up to body temperature of 98.6 degrees. To raise one pint of 50 degree water the 48.6 degrees to body temperature, about 12.25 calories are burned. That doesn't sound like much, but suppose you drink only 3 pints a day for a year. That would amount to almost 4500 calories or 1.4 to 3.3 pounds of weight loss per year.
If the water was colder, say ice cold, or if more water was drunk, more calories would be burned and more weight would potentially be lost.
Of course, drinking cold water or substituting cold water for coffee or other warm drinks which are already in your diet would have other effects. Some of the effects would be desirable, some undesirable. A large volume of water "thins" the blood and can actually make you feel "drunk." It leaches water soluble nutrients (such as B vitamins) from the body. It may also leach certain salts and minerals from the system.

Answer 8

get to the hospital with this..immediately...you could drown yourself, literally..please, do not hesitate..this could kill you. if you are serious. A woman recently drank twelve gallons, and died from it...please, do not take this lightly..you need to go now...you still might not lose the water like you want, it will saturate into your muscles, and vital organs etc...please, go now

Answer 9

That's not smart, and your math doesn't exactly make sense...
I hope you learn from this before it's too late.

Answer 10

Sounds like it has already kicked in...
