Answers:
Those above me are close. It is called water intoxication or hyperhydration. To much water in the body dilutes the electrolytes in the body resulting in poor brain function and sometimes death. As OJ is mostly water it can happen with it too.Health Question & Answer

Well there was a woman on the news a while back. She signed up for a Radio contest. You have to drink several gallons of water rather quickly in order to win a new Wii or something like that. It was around christmas and she said she wanted it for her son or someone. I just remember it being for christmas and she wanted it for a gift for someone.. Anyway.

She won! She drank a few gallons of water quickly before anyone else. She went home and she died. While fluids are good for you drinking them at a fast speed for a long time is EXTREMELY bad for you. Your friend probably drank too much too soon. The stomach couldn't stretch or something like that.
