Are drinking contests safe?

In a word: NO

A while back, in 2007, a woman in Sacramento DIED from water intoxication. She was in a contest to see who could drink the most water and not use the bathroom. The winner would get a Nintendo game console. She did not win. She died several hours later.

your bladder cannot possible explode. it is safe, just dont drink too much. and don't hold to long, aka dont hold more than 10-12 hours is what i would approximate because i think on average most people can wait 8 hours or when you have a pain in your bladder. If there is a pain there go because you can be hurting yourself.

Yes

Yes if you drink too much water at one time you can die of "water intoxication" you Kidneys and liver can supposedly shut down.

"hyponatremia" is also possible, a water/blood dilution.

I'm going to enter a contest, the person who drinks the most without peeing wins.

We can drink whatever we want, i will drink water.

However is this safe in terms of health? Can my bladder explode if drink too much?
