A hereditary disease of the exocrine glands, usually developing during early childhood and affecting mainly the pancreas, respiratory system, and sweat glands. It is characterized by the production of abnormally viscous mucus by the affected glands, usually resulting in chronic respiratory infections and impaired pancreatic function. Also called mucoviscidosis.\n\nCystic Fibrosis At A Glance\n\n*Cystic fibrosis (CF) is one of the most commonserious genetic (inherited) diseases. \n*CF gene is carried by 1/20 persons (in *Caucasianpopulations) and 1 in 400 couples is at risk for having childrenwith CF.\n*CF is characterized by the production of abnormalsecretions leading to mucous build-up.\n*CF mucous build-up can impair the pancreas and,secondarily, the intestine.\n*CF mucous build-up in lungs can impair respiration.\n*Early diagnosis of CF is of great importance.\n*Early and continuing treatment of CF is valuable.\n\nFor more information try:  http://www.cff.org/home/

Assuming that the person is otherwise healthy (no medical problems, no kidney problems, no ADH regulation problems, etc):\n\nWell, most people can pee about 15 liters or urine in a day.  This is around 4 gallons!\n\nSo, it would HAVE to be much more than this to cause death by hyponatremia!\n\nIF you drank much more over a VERY short period of time (several gallons in an hour), you would probably vomit some back up, too!\n\nFurthermore, as you started to become hyponatremic, you would become nauseated, feel realy sick, get a bad headache, become confused, and lethargic...\n\nThis, in a sense, would save most people's lives...and prevent death.  In other words, they would get too sick to continue to drink enough to die....even in fraternity hazing.\n\nHowever, if someone was forced to drink enough water over a short enough period of time, they could theoretically drink enough to pass out, have seizures, go into a coma...and yes, even die.\n\nIt is hard (at least for me) to even put a rough guess at this number, as I believe every person would be quite a bit different...and the range of amount to death would likely be VERY variable, depending on weight of the person, etc.  Furthermore, it would depend more on the RATE of water consumption than the actual AMOUNT.\n\nSome would NOT be able to drink enough water to kill themselves.  They would feel so awful, they would stop.\n\nMost people that become hyponatremic from drinking "too much" water either have a physical disease (i.e. impaired ADH regulation, etc) and/or they have a psychiatric disease (i.e. pyshogenic polydypsia).\n\nIn psychiatric disease of drinking too much water, it is usually a chronic thing...not an acute thing (i.e. not a "in one sitting" situation).\n\nHowever, if there were an underlying psychological or physiological problem to begin with, then the hazing thing could kill such a person.\n-\n\nFurthermore, most otherwise healthy people would not die from their "water drinking hazing" hyponatremia...they would pass out, maybe have a seizure, go into a coma.  Then, 911 would be called, they'd be taken to the hospital...given medical care...and gradually come out of it with appropriate treatment.\n\nSo, I know you wanted an exact number...but I don't think this can be answered.\n\nA better fraternity haze is to have people drink a gallon of whole milk in 30 minutes!\n\nNO one can hold down a gallon of milk, if they drink it within 30 minutes....and projectile milk vomiting is quite a sight.

My dad has this condition and has never drank in his life until my Mom passed away.  He couldn't deal with it so he had an alcoholic beverage.  Within 24 hours he had a Grand Mal Seizure in the shower and almost drowned.  He had to be rushed to the ER for a fractured back.  Thank God I found him when I did.  \n\nYou should always ask your Doctor about these things but I wouldn't recommend it.\n\nGood luck and God Bless!

its called drinking some water, getting some multivitamins before you drink, not mixing drinks (like wine and beer and vodka all together), and having genetic resistance (its in your family). also, there are certain food your should not eat.

You should avoid caffeinated coffee, tea and cola. They make you lose more fluids than you gain. Stay clear of cigarette smoke. Eat chicken soup or drink hot tea to relieve chest congestion. Try eating hot, spicy foods such as hot peppers or curry to thin the mucus; plug in the vaporizor.

Any kind of soda, pop, seltzer works almost immediately.  Also, alka-seltzer

Cystic fibrosis (CF), also called mucoviscidosis, is an autosomal recessive hereditary disease of the exocrine glands. It affects the lungs, sweat glands and the digestive system. It causes chronic respiratory and digestive problems.\n\nCystic fibrosis is exclusively heritable as both parents must carry the recessive genes for a child to acquire the disease. At the genetic level, cystic fibrosis is most often the result of an in-frame deletion of three base pairs in the DNA. Cystic fibrosis results from the production of an abnormal form of a protein called cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). CFTR functions in transporting chloride ions across epithelial cells found in the lung and intestinal tract. In CF patients, CFTR does not function properly, causing accumulation of ions inside epithelial cells. Since water follows ions by osmosis, this results in water depletion and viscous mucus on the surface of alveoli. The most common CFTR protein abnormality is a mutation termed ΔF508, which is characterized by the deletion of the DNA basepair sequence at chromosome location 7q31.1 that codes for a single amino acid, phenylalanine.

I have recommended slightly fizzy drinks before for people suffering with Diahorrea and / or Sickness. But not very fizzy as it will just gas up in your stomach and wont really help the situation much. Coke is not the usual recommendation though, its usually Lemonade or Lucozade. The idea is that it replaces fluid and electrolytes lost when your sick and not eating/drinking normally. The sugar in fizzy drinks also helps by providing your body with energy, so ironically stops you feeling more nauseous than you already do. I dont really recommend coca cola, mainly due to the high amounts of caffine. It wont help the situation anymore than if you were drinking lemonade. Also only take it in sips, dont gulp as you will only get too much gas. Resting your stomach as much as possible when you are sick is the best treatment - small amounts of water, and slightly fizzy drinks will be plenty. Too much fluid and / or any attempts of food before your stomach is ready will prolong your sickness / diahorrea. Hope this helps and glad your better now !!

Not at all. Apple cider is pure sugar (fructose). You may as well be drinking a Coke®
