Is Water a Deathly Substance?

Some people do it for money, some do it to rehydrate and all need it, but can you have too much water? The answer is yes. In 2005, a woman played in a contest called "Hold your, Wee for a Wii" and drank some six liters of water within three hours. She won, of course not without consequences. She went home with a headache that proved to actually kill her. She was diagnosed with water intoxication. Her brain cells swelled up and started bursting because that was the only place left for he water to go. Many more people are diagnosed with and die from this every year more than you think.

  1. Good Ty. Like your introduction. Give a bit more of a conclusion, which includes your personal response/what you will take away from the article.
