Water intoxication is a condition where the body’s level of sodium has been rapidly diluted with too much water. It is also known as hyponatremia or hyperhydration. Sodium is an important electrolyte that helps regulates the body’s fluids. When the body’s sodium level is changed rapidly by drinking a lot of water, the extra water then causes the cells in the body to swell and malfunction. The cells in the nervous system are particularly sensitive and can lead to symptoms that can mimic alcohol intoxication. Hence the name water intoxication. Source:
