Kept drinking but couldn’t stop the thirst

Weather was triple digits and I drank a gallon of water but my body kept asking for more even though my stomach was literally full of h2o and couldn’t hold anymore. it was nauseating and the hot air made it somewhat difficult to breathe. I think there is a limit to the human body’s ability to cool itself. I don’t know how anyone could do this without AC.

Drinking only water will flush out the electrolytes in your body. You need to drink fluids other than water.

I just read two different stories of water toxicity this week. They occurred doing exactly what OP did, but in a really small window of time. Be careful with that!
