Water addiction

So, you know my last blog? Here's a counter blog. Be afraid...very afraid. It is possible to be addicted to water, and it's also possible to OD. Water can be expensive when you're addicted and want more...and more...and more... Water may be good for your body, but only until a certain point. That point, however, is far from what you probably drink in about 3 days. Excessive consumption leads to hyponatraemia (yes I had to go back and forth between windows to spell the word). Hyponatraemia (water intoxication) is a condition in which levels of sodium in the blood become dangerously diluted leading to convulsions, coma, and death. Water addiction is serious, but very rare. Water OD is also serious, but even more rare. There have been 5 known situations where someone has ODd into coma and/or death.
