Besides vitamin B-6 and vitamin B-12, water-soluble vitamins are not typically stored in the body. Any excess is excreted via the urine.
Why is it impossible to overdose on vitamin a but not vitamin b?
Vitamin B is a water soluble vitamin meaning that it is not stored in the body. Your body will use what it needs and flush the remainder out in the urine. Water soluble vitamins need to be replaced on a regular basis. As with any vitamin you should always follow the manufacturers recommended daily dosage. By doing this you will not run into problems. However, Vitamin D being fat soluble, means that it does not get flushed by the kidneys if consumed in excess, and stored within the liver predominantly.

Which type of vitamin can be toxic?
Most vitamins are water-soluble: that is, obviously, that they dissolve in water. Vitamin D, however, is fat soluble. When you intake vitamin D, or it is produced by your deep skin layers, it embeds itself in your fat. If you take too much of a water-soluble vitamin, you will simply urinate out the excess. However, excess vitamin D does not leave the body so easily. It causes all sorts of problems when you get too much of it, such as constipation, dehydration, fatigue, and vomiting (which makes the dehydration even worse).
