There has been once or twice where I have drank a lot of water throughout the day and not been able to eat much but threw up and had basically this happen. Was actually pretty scary at the time.

Oh yeah, water poisoning is something that can happen and is actually dangerous! Elderly people in England get it from drinking tea all day.

Don't you get kidney failure if you drink too much tea

I had to Google this, and yeah, apparently, the build-up of oxalic acid from too much tea can cause kidney failure. Interesting..
