Lethal dose of water?

Question
Hi. I'm not sure who or where to ask this question.

I read somewhere on the internet that drinking too much water can kill you.

Is that true?? How much water is too much water? How does it kill you??

Thanks

Answer
Yes, it is true. I don't know how much you would need, but it's a lot. Basically one problem is that your kidneys can't keep up with filtering all of the water from your bloodstream and they shut down.

I use voice dictation software to "type" a lot of my answers here on AllExperts, so I apologize if some of my words are wrong (like "two" instead of "to" or "too") or my capitalization and punctuation isn't perfect. I try to edit any mistakes I notice, but they do sometimes slip by. Thanks for understanding.
