Well, sort of. Drinking too much water (and we're talking buckets here) will eventually thin out the blood to the point where you'll get really sick. It might even lead to liquid collecting in your lungs, which I suppose could be considered drowning.

Drowning happens in the lungs, swallowing water happens in your stomach, dry drowning sounds like some "old wives tale"

How much can you drink before you drown yourself?

Drinking too much water can lead to a condition known as water intoxication and to a related problem resulting from the dilution of sodium in the body, hyponatremia. You can't drown yourself unless you get too much water in your windpipe, which the human body is designed to avoid. The bladder can only hold so much water before it ruptures however; about 500-700 mL. == ==
