#3 Cute title for the contest, but the radio station and hosts should have known better. In recent years there have been well publicized incidents of military training deaths due to water intoxication. A death at Lackland in 1999 came to mind. Military Medicine has an article that "reviews several recent military cases and three deaths that have occurred as a result of overhydration, with resultant hyponatremia and cerebral edema. All of these cases are associated with more than 5 L (usually 10-20 L) of water intake during a period of a few hours".
Ybarra quit after 2 liters; wonder how much water Ms Strange drank.
