How much can a person drink water?

Answer 1

The amount varies according to the person's size and water output. Bigger people and/or those with high volumes of pee or sweat or vomiting or runs need more!

If you drink faster than you can excrete the extra, you will drown from it.

As a child, my brother and I had a well-water drinking contest. We were punchy! And peed a LOT for the next couple of hours.

So, like almost anything GOOD, more is not always better!

That said, most of us (as in US, population of US) would have more energy and fewer headaches if we drank more water....

Answer 2

I think it would vary on the individual and the amount of alcohol consumed versus food intake as well. Alot of factors are important. Is the person a social drinker, or drinks everyday? How much alcohol was consumed within a certain amount of time? For instance, chugging down a fifth of whiskey as fast as possible would give you a helluva good start to poisoning. What was the alcohol percent of the drink? One beer is just 5% alcohol by volume. Whiskeys and burbons and vodka are anywhere from 80-90 proof which is 40-45% alcohol by volume. Then you hit your Bacardi 151, your wild turkey 101 and the percentage runs up to 50% alcohol and higher. Everclear or grain alcohol a whopping 180-190 proof which equals 90-95% pure alchohol....Good ol white lightning which is made not to far down the road is just as pure as it gets...MMMM BOY!

On a side note, I was arrested a few years back for a DUI and my b.a.c. (blood acohol content) was .42%. Judge threw the book at me claiming in all her years she had never even heard of a bac that high. One year in jail with six months suspended...:(

Hear people tell me, I was on the verge of poisoning, even death. Any additions to this question and my answer would be interesting
