was he in his scuppers?

DAMN YOU AQUAMAN! DAMN YOUS STRAIGHT TO HELL!

That's one way to drown your sorrows.

I have experienced minor hyponatraemia myself. Let me tell you, it's not fun. I can't believe he didn't experience the effects of this all the time. It feels extremely disorienting (like the worse feeling you could imagine) and in my case I vomited anything I put in my mount.

mouth, not mount... hehe

/hotlinked because this thread was thirsting for it

oh aquaholic!

Drinking Problem?

Water??!!

At least go out with dignity.

That damned aquahol.

vodka: mouth, not mount... hehe

Playing too much WoW lately are we?

Was there a Moby CD found at the scene?

I'm here for the "Ban Dihydrogen Monoxide" references.

michaeld5: Water??!!

Dammit Otto...you're an aquaholic!

Water makes me so hot!

vsavatar: Playing too much WoW lately are we?

More like too much time at the command line in Linux. Well that and not enough sleep.

My wife works with nuts and tards like that, and she says there's one guy like that, if you don't watch him he'll just stand at the sink drinking water until he collapses or blows up or something.

H₂Owned.

Damn nuttards always trying to do something to cause themselve pain.

A Gentile in Boca: H2Owned.

I lol'd

wow this guy really loved water

That ptc/link on the right is NSFW

Water is nothing to mess around with.

That is the first thing I think of when I hear "drinking problem"

GWSuperfan: Hooray!!! Another day where more people have ODed on water than have ODed on marijuana in all of recorded history.

/Ban water
//Legalize weed

How you gonna treat that cotton mouth? Or water your precious plant? Ah ha!

Holy crap! When I was in the loony bin ( yeah I've been, I got disorders myself ) I saw an old lady that had this. She would drink water incessantly and all the inmates and staff had to watch her to make sure she didn't go to the drinlking fountain. Seriously. She would get drunk from water. It was freaky, disturbing and annoying. You had to literally pull her off the drinking fountain. Weird as heck.

If this was a legitimate condition of never ending excessive thirst it is kind of interesting. Perhaps a tumor of whatever portion of the brain that regulates thirst? Faulty negative feedback from the stomach and kidneys?

Post Apocalyptic Vendor: Water! Cool... clear water!

(Max Max walks up)

Post Apocalyptic Vendor: Step right up son, let's get some dealin' done! H20... That's my go!

(Max Max shakes his head)

Post Apocalyptic Vendor: Don't you understand? This is water! You can't live without it!

(Max Max runs a geiger counter over the container... the counter goes wild)

Post Apocalyptic Vendor: What's a little fallout? Have a nice day!

what a way to go

/hotlinked, so what?

Abominable Snow Man: I'm here for the "Ban Dihydrogen Monoxide" references.

it is a dangerous substance. it is fatal to humans and animals, rusts metals....

If you think this is interesting... You should see those fat farks that never stop being hungry.

/It's kinda sad : (

If only there were an alternative drink, one with proper electrolytic content to discourage soodium impabalance, even one that might encourage eatingof electrolyte foodstuffs, like salty pretzels or peanuts. Said drink might also reward the drinker with a mild euphoric effect, and a self regulating anaesthetic effect which would render the overindulger in a harmless stuporific sleep.

I would ahve killed myself too if I was an Aqua-holic

Jon iz teh kewl: How you gonna treat that cotton mouth? Or water your precious plant? Ah ha!

Brawndo.

Where my hose at?

Jon iz teh kewl: GWSuperfan: Hooray!!! Another day where more people have ODed on water than have ODed on marijuana in all of recorded history.

Yes, but how many people have been killed by hydrophiliacs driving while, um, watered?

Dammit Otto! You're an aquaholic!

Hmm, should have read the thread first

Dead guy's brother: "Something should have been done because Andrew certainly wouldn't have known that it would have lead to death."

Oh, horseshiat! He's been addicted to water for 30 years, people go out of their ways to drag him away from water sources, they medicate him when he drinks too much, he has to sneak around and drink from sinks and garden hoses... you expect me to believe that no one ever told him that it was bad for him to drink too much water? He never once said: "Why is it a big deal? Why can't I drink water all day?"

Unless he also had some cognitive impairment, I don't believe that he never found out, over the past three decades, that too much water is dangerous. Of course he knew. His addiction just won out.

cue "anecdotal evidence" warning...

I saw a medical documentary where a 20-year-old girl developed this insatiable thirst, to the point of seizures if she went more than two hours without water. She went through college like this, until she was finally hospitalized after a major episode and they discovered her kidneys had all but shut down. The excessive water drinking was keeping her system flushed.

hosed?

michaeld5: At least go out with dignity.

Crown? Dignity? Really? At least post a pic of Crown Reserve if you want to call that crap whiskey dignified.

So did he win the Wii?

rywri: /hotlinked, so what?

Came here for this.


You get to drink from the fire hose!

GWSuperfan: Hooray!!! Another day where more people have ODed on water than have ODed on marijuana in all of recorded history.

Actually, there are a lot of ER cases where people have poisoned themselves drinking too much water trying to flush their system to pass a drug screen.

A Gentile in Boca: H₂Owned.

Hehe. Win!

EatsCrayons: Unless he also had some cognitive impairment,

There is a condition where a person never stops feeling hungry called Prader-Willi syndrome, where the afflicted also have mental retardation. Maybe this water thing is similar.

What a hose may look like.

"Hi, fish!"

"Hi Aquaman!"

"Hve you seen anything unusual under the water?"

"Hi Aquaman!"

I didn't know there was a such thing as Aquahol. Is it made by Aquafina or Evian?

"...found lying in a pool of water..."

You hoser.

nytmare There is a condition where a person never stops feeling hungry called Prader-Willi syndrome, where the afflicted also have mental retardation. Maybe this water thing is similar.

That's what I was thinking, but the TFA makes no mention of this at all. If he had a cognitive impairment, you'd think the article would say something more along the lines of "developmentally delayed man killed from hyponatraemia" or "Alzheimers patient dies in bizarre hose accident". TFA article was unclear if he was in a "care facility" specifically due to his water drinking or if he was mentally handicapped. (Assuming 51 is a bit young to be in some kind of nursing home.)

TheGreyPiper: My wife works with nuts and tards like that, and she says there's one guy like that, if you don't watch him he'll just stand at the sink drinking water until he collapses or blows up or something.


Why stop him? Seriously.

I'm sure it sounds cold to most people, but I just don't see the point past a certain age. It's good to try to keep people from killing themselves, of course, but there's a limit to everything. After a while, when they know what they are doing, why keep fighting them?

booger42: Is anyone else here thirsty?

Loadmaster: Yes, but how many people have been killed by hydrophiliacs driving while, um, watered?

does that mean I'm in trouble if I'm stopped by police? since I have an open container in my car?

In Iraq, I knew some dudes that drank mouthwash.

Hey...it's alcohol.

We need to set a water drinking age at 21, ban water sales on Sundays and institue laws against drinking water and driving.

i'm an aquaholic! i'm addicted to aquahol!
