Its possible since the kidneys can only deal with so much water. If you continually drink so much water that your kidneys can deal with it all, then various parts of your body will swell with overflow. This could include your brain tissue. When this happens, its known as a condition called brain edema. This could eventually kill you if you don't stop. All humans should drink 8 - 8 ounce glasses of water per day and up to 10 - 12 8 - 8 ounce glasses if perspiring from sports or anything that exerts or drains the body of fluids. If you are dsuppose rinking more than this then the above poster is correct. Answer I that it is true that you can have to much bodily fluid in your system, but if you lead a relatively active life the amount of energy you use and the amount of perspiration that occurs in your body, I dont think that you would need to worry about having swelling in the brain cells. It is true that if your lymphatic system to be more specific does not work efficiently that this could occur, but otherwise this is extremely like to occur and it shouldn't bother you. I think also the term that you are looking for is known as Cell lysis and not drowning!
