Can you drownd your self bye doing the water diet?

Drown: no, toxic:yes: Drinking excessive water is not likely to cause drowning since drowning is inhaling water into your lungs. However, drinking excessive water can cause water intoxication and death by altering your electrolytes. Best to consult your doctor before starting any "diet.".
