If you were offered knowledge of exactly when and how you'll die, would you take it? Why or why not?

You can dehydrate yourself by drinking too much water. You flush the salts out of your system and get water poisoning and die of dehydration anyway.

It's not dehydration, it's hyponatremia. The danger is due to brain swelling.

It is dehydration, just a different type.

Losing mainly fluid is known as hypertonic dehydration – or hypernatremia. Losing mainly sodium is known as hypotonic dehydration – or hyponatremia

Yeah but my point was not drinking a huge amount, just enough not to have too much water or too little, like a glass of water every hour or something.
