Can you drown by drinking too much water?

No: Drowning occurs when water enters the lungs and is not related to how much you drink. Drinking too much water can however, result in other problems.

No: Calculate your body weight in pounds your daily requirement is half your body weight in ounces. If you happen to drink coffee them multiply x 3 the ounce of coffee add that to above requirement.

Extremely unlikely: A normal healthy person cannot drown by drinking too much water except in an extremely rare situation. He would have to drink a lot of water, perhaps 1-2 gallons. His blood sodium would be diluted too much, leading to brain swelling and/or seizures (some of the ways water intoxication kills people). In his semi-conscious state, he vomits water from his stomach, sucks it into his lungs, and drowns.
