Or a drill sergeant in your face telling you to drink more water, it'll make you feel better. Dilutes the saline content of your system, and neural impediment follows closely. It's kinda amazing, because the symptoms of overhydration are very nearly identical to those of heat exhaustion/stroke. The military loses a handfull of soldiers a year to overhydration.
