What will drinking a lot of water do to your cells?

Excess water drinking will "pull" sodium from your cells, in an attempt to minimize or avoid hyponatremia. However, too much water drinking can "wash out" sodium from the bloodstream, and precipitate dangerous problems, such as seizures, coma, and even death.
