Why does drinking water feel so great all of a sudden?

The op, consuming 1 liter of water within minutes, increased the pressure on his brain, yielding some form of mild delirium. I can't recommend doing that again, at all.
I probably won't. It didn't last. It was only while actually drinking the water.
Too much of anything can kill you, even water, IIRC you do damage to your kidneys, because they can't process it all quick enough and it poisons you, who knew water could poison you
Never...water can never be poisonous unless it is contaminated...
Wrong. Too much water can actually cause death through flushing the electrolytes out of your system.

+1 for water!
And no I don't think you can get high off water, but it is definitely refreshing to drink some cold water when you're dehydrated.
I find drinking water very refreshing. I ended up in hospital because i didn't drink enough i won't be doing that again
Yeah, so did I. I kept being sick and they attached me to the IV. Wouldn't recommend it!
I love IVs ... they are cool and refreshing, and the best part is having to urinate no more than 5 minutes later.
About seven liters or so in one go might kill you. On the other hand, if you suffer from headaches or migrane, it could be that you are not drinking enough.
LoL yeah i know that feeling every few minutes i was back and forth weeing all the time.
as opposed to drinking untreated water? im ok. plus im on ebmub (east bay mud) here in the bay area; we have one of the best drinking waters in the world. in addition to that, just get a bria filter or something if your water is bad around your area.
They did that to me too, always good when they miss the vein five times with somebody with a phobia of needles.
My doctor just gave me a needle that numbed the lower part of the arm where they put mine in. He missed a couple of times but i didn't feel a thing and + i wasn't watching either
Its ok, this is perfectly normal. When you didn't drink water, your brain began to shrink slightly to preserve the water it had in it left. Once you started to drink water, more stuff was travelling to your brain which causes it to expand as it is being refilled. Water is an absolute necessity which is why you feel great drinking itSo I admit, I haven't drank any water (or atleast not much) lately, and my eating habits have been pretty piss-poor. Anyways, I got some Dasani in my fridge (my mom did, rather - I don't buy bottled water because it's a rip-off). Anyways, it's like 1 in the morning, and I just drank two full bottles (33.8 Fl. Oz.) in less than 10 minutes, and everytime I take a drink, my head feels all nice, like I'm on drugs or something. Really weird. Am I just really dehydrated?
Don't let yourself dehydrate and you will cause damage. Headaches up to migraine can be caused by dehydration. Drinking too much water will only hurt you if it is truly excessive.
I agree and find drinking water (I would drink between two to three litres a day) wonderfully refreshing and restorative.
One has to wonder just how much water the original poster might have consumed in the 9 years since his original post?
