Every cell in your body holds water. There is actually a case a few years ago of an 8 year old girl dying because her parents forced her to drink too much water as a punishment for drinking Kool-Aid without permission. When you drink water at a rate that is higher than your body can expel through urine and sweat, then the fluid can accumulate and cause hyponatremia where your blood has a very low sodium content. This will cause your brain to swell and malfunction, even to the point of death.
