A woman drank 7.5 liters of water in a competition and died of water poisoning later the same day. Water poisoning occurs when the body´s normal balance is disturbed by a too rapid intake of water. The brain can swell and stops regulating breathing. A girl drank 6 liters of water when she played water poker. She ended up in a coma in hospital and died. A man drank 10 liters of water and ended up in hospital confused and aggressive. The doctor did not understand at first what was wrong with him. The man died a few hours later in hospital of water poisoning. 1 liter 40 % alcohol should be lethal drinking in less than 1 hour. In rich countries people eat themselves to death, but 200 years ago people died of starvation and we still have world poverty. Starvation takes 45 - 60 days, depending on how much fat is in the body, but you probably die of a disease first. Dehydration takes 1 - 2 weeks. So drinking and eating too much will kill you and vice versa, but these methods are not peaceful.
