Indiana family shares warning after 35-year-old mother dies from drinking too much water on vacation

[Anonymous]

This is just crazy, and sad. 4 bottles in under 30 mins, while it seems like a lot I wouldn't think it would be enough to cause water toxicity.

Of all the things I drink too much of on vacation, water ain't in the top 10.

What size of bottles?

It says at one point 4 bottles in 30 mins, that doesn't sound like that's all she drank. Sounds like she was hydrating during the day consuming lots of water.

"Her bottle of water is like 16 ounces, so that was 64 ounces that she drank in the span of 20 minutes. That's half a gallon. That's what you're supposed to drink in a whole day." According to WRTV, Summers made it home that night, but passed out in her garage and never regained consciousness."

No the article says she was severely dehydrated that day.

She must’ve been really petite.

I remember an older story about a young woman who died after a radio contest that was to drink as much water as you can. (The contest prize was an X-Box or something.) That’s when I first learned water toxicity was a thing.

Damn tragic….and scary.

Hydrating is not an actual scientific thing

Yes, that's water toxicity. Messed up electrolytes.

The article says she was complaining of being dehydrated. I think she was a water obsessive. Really sad.
