Water drinking fatal to woman

Found this article in the newpaper this morning, I suggest a complete ban of all water:

Water drinking fatal to woman

A 28-year-old mother of three died from water intoxication hours after competing in a radio station contest to see which contestant could drink the most water without urinating, according to preliminary autopsy results released Saturday.

Water intoxication -- or hyponatremia -- occurs when sodium levels in the blood drop too low because someone has ingested too much water, excreted too much sodium or taken medications that sap important minerals from the body. The body's electrolyte balance is thrown off and the condition can lead to cardiac arrest, Smith said.

I think we should immediately ban water. It's obviously a dangerous drug because 1.) most people are addicted to it and 2.) it can kill you.

Just say NO to water!

Maybe we should put up a website to warn people about the dangers of water.

Pre-occupied, one-sided, factual wrong and sensational! That's what people like! :tear:
