Technically, that's wrong, Yes you can die from drinking too much water in a short period of time and it is called water intoxication because it alters your mental status and you appear drunk but it has nothing to do with altering your blood alcohol level. What happens is it causes electrolyte imbalances, mainly sodium, and it causes a disruption in your nervous system and you can die.
