Actually, drinking four to six litres of water at once is a great way to clean yourself.

It'll come out like fucking syphon. There are dietes based on it.

And yes, it's the ugliest thing ever.

That's not funny, my uncle died that way.

>Have we ever figured out how to take drinking water too far?
You mean like taking a vacuum pump with one end at your mouth and drinking water up through that type of thing?

>this whole thread

Well, it wasn't exactly what I had in mind but, okay, lesson learned.

It's like the famous comparison of too much of a good thing.
e.g.

>Do you like ice cream?
>Yes!
>Do you like a LOT of ice cream?
>Yes!!
>Do you wanna have ice cream every day of your life?
>Well, sure..
>Do you wanna be strapped to a chair and have ice cream forced down your throat every minute of every day?
>...

An Australian legend tells of a frog called Tiddalik, who one day awakened with such an endless thirst that he never ceased drinking, eventually draining all water in the world. Needless to say, all other animals quickly gathered together to find a solution to the sudden drought, and decided to make the overstuffed frog laugh so that he may spew forth the water he had consumed. Eventually, an eel managed the feat by tying himself into a knot (as an aside, hagfish are famous for this - when confronted, they tend to secrete large quantities of slime and tie themselves into a knot, slipping from the grasp of would-be predators) and a great flood issued from the laughing Tiddalik, causing much destruction but also saving the world. It is also said that a pelican, Borun, saved a woman from this flood but tried to rape her afterwards, and from thence forward feathers of pelicans are a mixture of white and black, as both a reward for Borun's kindness and punishment for his perversity.

I suppose that would count as taking drinking water too far.

Sounds pretty erotic.
