Why is it after you drink water you become bloated and the scales shoot up?
Stomach bloating after drinking water depends on several factors. Some are how much water is consumed, how fast the water is consumed, what else is in the stomach, and how full the intestines are. One or two 8-ounce glasses of water is unlikely to cause noticeable bloating, but a quart or more of water that is consumed quickly with other food or liquid in the stomach may lead to some bloating. If the intestines are full, bloating after drinking that much water could occur. fagg
The water sitting in pipes inside older homes, and newer homes, too, hold water that is warmer than the pipes that are in the ground leading to those homes. Some people run their tap water for a few minutes before filling their drinking glasses in order to get that cooler water.
Of course, more recently some home owners have been advised to flush their tap water in this way to remove the water that has been in direct contact with corroded lead pipe for an extended time and can therefore be presumed to have a higher lead content than water more recently arrived from the water mains.

How does a person die from drinking too much water?
As human beings are creatures of chemicals, there can always be too much of a good thing. The human body contains many different chemicals called electrolytes that the body depends on for normal functioning. However, these electrolytes must be within a very stable concentration in order to work properly. If a person takes in more water than they can remove, these electrolytes become diluted and the person goes into what is called water intoxication of hyperhydration. In fact, the theory of sports drinks like Gatorade is that if a drink contains not just water, but the correct concentration of electrolytes, there is minimal risk of water intoxication. People on a low-sodium diet are at higher risk of water intoxication, but the people who should truly be concerned are marathon runners, who by nature drink lots and lots of water. However, most people are much more likely to suffer the opposite end of the spectrum: dehydration.
