It reminds me of when college students play that drinking game where, when a student turns 21, he or she must drink 21 shots of liquor during his or her first minute as a 21-year-old.

Very dangerous.

Wow I've heard of people getting sick from water intoxification but never anyone dying. Yeah that was terribly irresponsible of the radio station. No doubt the family will sue the station and then they can buy a bunch of Nintendos with the winnings.

Yes, that radio station will be in debt due to a substantial lawsuit payout, hopefully.

They didn't specify what the exact risks were when drinking that much water.

Yet again, stupidity drowns in the gene pool.

lol, Xon. That was great.

I equate this to sticking a live wire in one's own mouth, to be honest. To think some Gatorade or something as simple as pretzels would have saved her life.

I heard about a girl that died from drinking too much water before. The girl took some ecstasy and died from drinking too much water.

Talking about desperate gamers, I saw ages ago that this women commited suicide after losing a game of Bomberman. :lol:

Sorry for laughing though.
