How bad are flavoured water ?

The guy that died running the London Marathon died from over-hydrating. Dehydration can be bad but don't drink too much.

Indeed but hardly anyone over hydrates themselves whereas a large percentage of people are regularly dehydrated.

Sorry to hijack thread but is drinking too much water really all that bad for you? I can't really survive on less than 4 pints a day at the very least.

If you drink a lot in a short period of time it can be bad for you,

I.e you effectively drown yourself.

It really only happens in extreme cases.

Read my post

Death from over-hydration is extremely rare, but it can lead to brain damage (and usually from there, death), as your brain can swell inside the skull if you take on too much water.
