Happens alot when ppl take xtacy. To much water and die. But for a contest to be like that is shocking!

That's the stupidest contest I've ever seen! And all for that. What a sad story.

She probably also signed a contract...maybe. That much water in a short amount of time = deadly, over the course of the day = not so much.

Is $200 really THAT impossible to save up? Seriously...the Wii isn't like a million dollars.

It was definetly a crack-pot contest, not well thought through. Just like my church encourages people to fast for 21 days. Someone could die if they had an unknown medical condition and they went 21 days without eating bread or meat. Basically a vegan fast, not an ENTIRE fast. I was quite upset when they started encouraging EVERYONE to fast, it's definetly a medical liability.

College fraternities had this problem a while back. They realized making the recruits drink alcohol could kill them but didn't realize you can die from drinking too much water. It's too bad, but it was a terrible contest idea.

back in high school, i was just joking around, and drank a gallon jug of water

my teacher was a nazi, and wouldn't let me go to the bathroom (i finally just got up and went, but not for 15-20 minutes)

i remember feeling like i was going to throw up, i was extremely nauseous, and even after i went to the bathroom, i felt drunk
 

lovely?

people dont realize the dangers with everyday foods. one small salt shaker hold enough salt to dehydrate you to death. to much sugar can put you into a coma, (not a joke,) that ultimately causes death. too much chocolate can cause brain hemirages in some people, causing near-imediate death. this kind of stuff, "over-indulging" is a deadly trait nowadays, and not much is being done to stop it

Yo man, that woman is darn right stupid. Who the heck would die (albeit no intentionally) for $200, it is ridiculous!

She didn't do it on purpose. I bet she didn't even think about the consequences - she just did it for her children (at least, that's how I interpreted it)...
