A person cannot drink too much water; the kidneys and sweat glands make water excretion quick and efficient, protecting the body from overhydration.
Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)
False
Drinking too much water too rapidly can be as dangerous as drinking too little. In rare instances, it can cause a condition called water intoxication. Water intoxication develops when the kidneys cannot remove water fast enough to keep pace with water intake. As a result, water accumulates in the blood and dilutes the sodium in the serum.
