It is about moderation. Anything in excess will kill you. An excess of food kills more people than alcohol. Eat up.
you can die from too ingesting much water and im not talking about drowning you blood cells just explode
Yep. You literally drown internally. A woman died that way in the public eye during a water chugging contest.

i still remember that happening was pretty brutal way to die, literally how i learnt you can die from water without drowning
Wasn't there a radio contest where the person who drank the most water without pissing won the tickets? A nurse called in during the show and said they could die. They laughed until one of the contestants died. Lawsuit was filed. (abcnews.go.com) Ironically, I think she was trying to win the tickets for her husband.
the one i heard about was it was a mother who was trying to win an xbox for their kid
The thing about water is that if you drink too much, you won't black out, you won't kill people by driving drunk, you won't ruin your life because of your addiction to alcohol, you won't alienate your family (at least not from drinking), and you won't have to do time in jail or prison by constantly being picked up for drunk driving, just a few scenarios that will not happen if you drink too much water.
Overhydration messes up the electrolytes in your blood which can cause a heart attack.
