A member asked:
Drank 4l of water in approx. 1,5 hrs, plus two glasses of wine. four hours later no headache, but light headed. is water intoxication still an option?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: try to slow your intake down next time. You will urinate the excess water thanks to the wine. Avoid this also "when wine becomes your water".
