Drinking too much water is called hyponatrimia and it's when you dilute the salt in your body below safe levels. Marathoners have died from this (although rare!) by drinking only water during a race.
No, you will not burst your stomach. This is extremely hard to do. Mythbusters (not that I would trust them for true scientific research) tried pop rocks and cola to burst a pig's stomach and couldn't do it.

Your stomach won't burst, but you can die from drinking too much water. That's a lot of water, btw, 8 to 10 glasses a day is healthy.

You'd probably die from water intoxication before bursting. If you drink the water that is. Now if a waterhose was put in your mouth and there was enough pressure you'd probably drown first before your stomach would burst.

If you drink too much water, like one gallon in a sitting, your stomach will not burst BUT YOU WILL DIE. It's called water poisoning.

You will throw up.
If you continue to drink water too quickly, some of it will get into your trachea and down into your lungs and you will drown.
Stomachs don't burst unless you swallow an explosive device.

Well, if you are healthy and normal, you should feel the need to urinate first before any need to regurgitate.
If you feel the need to drink water continually, then you need to see a doctor as this can be an indicator of quiet a few serious conditions, some of whihc can kill people very quickly, aka days.

If you continually drink water, you can actually die. A woman in water drinking contest last year lost her life trying to win a gift for her kids. Tragic.

Hyponatrimia
