In medicine, water intoxication (also known as hyperhydration or water poisoning) is a potentially fatal disturbance in brain function that results when the normal balance of electrolytes in the body is pushed outside of safe limits by a very rapid intake of water.
Horrible

I know that that happens, sometimes when they can't figure out why some kid dies on a hot day at football practice it turns out that all he drank was tons of water, instead of an electrolyte replacement drink. He basically sweated out all his sodium, and didn't replace it fast enough.
My electrolytes were out of balance when I was in the hospital, my phosphate levels had fallen and they gave me sodium phosphate IV's. But it could have been caused by the infection in my bile ducts.

Her A3V3 was probably so peeved with her. Along with her atrial baroreceptors. That dumb whore.
Most people get enough electrolytes from the foods they eat. Gatorade has been shown to be very harsh on the enamel of the tooth, so it should only be consumed when working out and not as a regular drink of choice.
