Question: How much water do you have to drink to get water intoxication.?
Answers:
That depends. Water intoxication is really about cellular water/electrolyte balance. When there is too much water in your cells and not enough electrolytes, they swell and can burst. When this begins to happen to the cells in your brain, you have water intoxication. Contributing factors include amount of physical activity, the bodies ability to process water into waste, and obviously intake balance of water to electrolytes. A normally functioning adult would probably see signs of water intoxication as they approach two gallons of water in one hour.Health Question & Answer
