    This is per kilogram of your mass. So if your weight is 80kg then the lethal dose would be 96000mg not 1200. At least that’s how I understand this.

      So that means 7.2 litres of water to kill an 80 kg human. That’s a lot of water to down in one short sitting.

      Not easy to do. Fortunately.

        Back in college, there was this thing called the “4, 4, 40 challenge” where one would have to drink 4 liters of water, in 4 minutes and hold it down for 40 secs. Lots of vomiting would ensue.
