Hyponatremia: Yes, forcing yourself to drink water can dilute the essential salts in your blood which mediate all the nerve signals in your body, so you can poison yourself with too much water! sixteen ounces is plenty at the start of the day. You can gauge the appropriateness of the amount of water you are drinking if your urine stays pale yellow--never clear or deep yellow.
