There's always water intoxication. I drastically over-compensated for a extraordinarily hot day last summer. I didn't need to pee, so I kept drinking more and more since my symptoms said dehydration to me.

By the time I was done, I couldn't do the math to calculate when my next turn would be on my cycle computer. About 2 hours after I got back and ate dinner, I was going to the bathroom every 15-30 minutes and felt fine by bed time.

I won't go over a quart or a 1 1/2 quarts per hour now, and then I have to be sweating buckets to go over the quart mark.
