[quote="Jimbo@":64fdc][quote="Apocalypse | NoW":64fdc]my health teacher said that if you drink water at an extreme amount, the water washes out the essential nutraints and u can die.[/quote:64fdc]

Your teacher is wrong. Now chug down that water!!![/quote:64fdc]

Actually, his teacher's right in a way. If you drink too much water it can reduce the amount of sodium in your bloodstream. This can cause swelling of various body parts, including the brain. Usually it happens to people that are doing serious physical activity and drinking too much water, the chances of it happening to someone sitting about drinking water would be slim I guess. Unless you went nuts and just drank and drank and drank all day long. eek:
