Every cell in the body needs water to function correctly.
However, drinking too much can lead to water intoxication and serious health consequences. It is difficult to drink too much water by accident, but it can happen, usually as a result of overhydrating during sporting events or intense training. The symptoms of water intoxication are general — they can include confusion, disorientation, nausea, and vomiting. In rare cases, water intoxication can cause swelling in the brain and become fatal.
