Drinking too much water can lead to a condition called water intoxication, which can be lethal. The amount of water needed to reach this point varies depending on factors like weight and health, but consuming an excessive amount of water in a short period of time can overwhelm the kidneys and lead to dangerously low levels of sodium in the blood, causing symptoms like confusion, seizures, and even death. It is important to listen to your body's signals and not force yourself to drink excessive amounts of water.

How long after vomiting can you drink water?

uh anytime you want. when you vomit, unless you drink salt water before, you lose all of your water. you can drink it anytime after vomiting, why couldn't you? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Actually, if you vomit, you SHOULD drink water, and a good bit of it. Obviously don't drink so much that you end up vomiting again, but diarrhea and vomiting are the 2 situations where dehydration becomes lethal. I'd suggest to keep sipping water (no big gulps, it'll upset both your esophagus and stomach) until you feel comfortable in your stomach region. Any chronic vomiting or uncontrollable/constant vomiting should be analyzed by a doctor, and not searched on the internet. >_<
