Best Answer

Yes. It is possible to drink too much water, or other fluids causing your cells to "drown". This can be lethal, as seen when a radio station offered a contest asking people to drink as much water as possible in a short period of time without urinating. A woman died. It should be noted that urinating will not necessarily prevent death in such cases.
