    I believe it’s body weight, so if you weighed 200lb (~90kg) you’d have to drink 8100g of water to possibly die and you have to drink it fast and not pee it out. There was a woman several years back that did die from this, a radio station did a contest “hold your wee for a wii”

      Water is toxic without you needing to rupture your bladder. I’ve experienced water toxicity before, it gives you a headache and makes you disoriented.
