I heard a news report a couple months ago about a woman competing in a
radio station contest died after drinking too much of that stuff.


It takes a couple of litres minimum over a short period to produce the
hyponatremia from which she died.

I just drank a big glass full of that stuff today, now I feel bloated and my
bladder is in pain, not sure what to do, better call poison control!

That was here in Sacramento. Only a couple years before a student
nearby at UC Davis died in the same way during a hazing ritual. I
think the dangers are now pretty well known by most, not sure what
idiocy was happening at the radio station. The AM guys on that station
107.9 are no longer on the air.

They knew of the dangers and joked about them. They must be extraordinarily
stupid. Just firing them does not seem sufficient, as their actions were
deliberately negligent and harmful.

And they warned the participants of the dangers as well. So the participants
are at least equally to blame including the one that died.

So if an airplane crew warns passengers about what to do in the event of an
emergency, and the pilots later make a stupid mistake and crash, the crash is
partially the passengers' fault?

No but if the pilot warns the passenger that opening the door in-flight
might cause the passenger to fall to the ground and later the passenger
opens the door and falls out I'd say the passenger has some responsibility.
