How much water do you drink?

In addition to a can of pop and 1-2 glasses of juice and/or milk, I probably drink around 10 half-glasses of water a day. Unless I've been involved in a strenuous physical activity (running, moving boxes/furniture, etc.), I usually can't down an entire glass of water at once.

Indeed. I don't remember if it was from last year or earlier this year, but there was an incident in Washington State where a participant in a radio contest died from drinking too much water.

I thought he died from choking on the water in a chugging contest.

Its called water intoxication or as I like to call it; hyponatremia. Also the he was a she *Jennifer Strange (28), the place was near Sacramento California, and the reason she drank too much water was there was a contest to get a free Wii. Now a few years ago there also was guy who died from the same thing at Chico State due to frat hazing.
