Question

Answer 1

lol, dont worry, it'll pass, just don't eat or drink anything for a few hours

Answer 2

Four pints shouldn't do you any harm,but as Rachel says,too much water can kill you,your internal organs 'drown' A recent case in papers,but I think this bloke drank about three times that amount  whilst exercising.Nearly died

Answer 3

Did you chug this water?  You could have water intoxication; and you can die from it without medical treatment, so I would go to the ER if you think that is the problem.

Answer 4

sound more like the flu than too much water intake, eat a few crackers and see if you feel better.....

Answer 5

You can't drown yourself unless you get too much water in your windpipe, which the human body is designed to avoid. The bladder can only hold so much water before it ruptures however; about 500-700 mL.

Answer 6

GO to the doctor...Why would you drink this much water at one time???

Answer 7

Drinking too much water at one sitting can be dangerous. It may be a good idea to make a phone call to a health information call center in your area and ask  their opinion.

Good luck and take care of that.
