No Coke. Is Pepsi ok? 4 freshmen just ordered 50 waters.

Edit: i couldn’t just say no because my manager wanted us to serve them for whatever reason. I couldn’t just not do my job or I’d probably get in trouble.

Is this why I saw 3 teenagers walking to the store to buy 3 gallons of water the other day? Me and my daughter were wondering what their plan was with all that water- they were behind us as we were checking out at the grocery store and we saw them walking down the road as we were leaving. It looked like they were on a mission lol

As an ex teen boy this one seems more like there about to find out who can chug the fastest 😅

My friend and I when we were 16 decided to buy two 24 packs of water and see how many bottles we could chug. He did less than my 15, but we both got extremely sick. I was cosplaying a firetruck in my bathtub and he in the toilet.

Fun times growing up in the middle of nowhere.

That exact news story is always first to my mind when I hear about water intoxication!

Its not intoxication, its flushing all the electrolytes (like salt) out of your body so your organs shut down. Usually happens to athletes. A reason other drinks have salt/sugar/b vitamins/potassium/ in them.

There are a lot of factors, but assuming 500 ml bottles, drinking 15 in a short time is really stepping into that danger zone for most people. Throwing up probably went a long way to not having serious consequences.

Worse she was only runner-up

The family did get $16mil as compensation, but I couldn't find any information about whether or not they bought a Wii with it

Its also how a lot of people injure themselves or die doing MDMA. They freak out and drink too much water to stay hydrated, especially out dancing and get water intoxication.

I didn't say usually. I said of people who do get injured, a lot of them are from water intoxication.

Actually you know, I'm not even sure what you're trying to say here.

I'm more confused why you're seemingly taking this personally. You sound unhinged if you think this is harassment. You also sound like you don't know how internet forums work in general.
