"Water"

You're meant to drink like 6 glasses or water a day or something aren't you?

Well, it doesn't specify how big the glasses are, like, is it 6 pints or 6 shots or what? I need to know how much water I have to drink to remain thoroughly hydrated!

Also does the amount of water you drink depend on how tall/big you are? Like, would a 6'5 rugby player have to drink more than a 5'1 librarian?

Also do bigger people have bigger organs? Like, does a fat fellow have a bigger heart and lungs etc than a skinny little emo kid?


I've drank 2 litres of water today, hows that? and I didnt use a Britta filter like you homos, straight from the tap. Oh aye.

A prostrate and a bigger colon.

yeah?

lol, another one!

You'd have to drink stupid amounts to drown your innards though, wouldn't you?

Cheers for the organ info.

hmmm, if water enters the lung it is then that your blood can get hyperdiluted.

Drinking too much can cause hyponatremia through lack of salt and minerals in the blood and can cause unconciousness, but i've never come across it and David Blaine should have been in a coma on the tenth day of the his stunt if he had only been drinking water.

suppose you can die, only if you dont replace lost minerals

Having had the pleasure of resuscitating a couple of drowned people it's suprising how much water the stomach can hold when it all comes burbling up like a geyser!

Drinking too much water often makes you feel sick as well.

I remember having a water drinking competition once. I downed three pints of it in about thirty seconds and then promptly threw up. I suppose that was more to do with the fact that I drank it very quickly rather than the volume though.

No. You do actually die if you drink too much.

If there's too much in your blood, it diffuses into your brain and you... die.

:D

For the hearts and the lungs, it depends on the level of fitness, and not the size of the actual person.

Example: Lance Armstrong (Tour de France 7 times champion) has a HUGE heart muscle and HUGE lungs. This pushes his other organs downwards, as there is not enough space in his chest, and this gives him a pot belly.

True story.

Woah, I'm peeing like a racehorse.

This is fun.

No, but you'll be visiting the toilet every half hour.
