drinking to much water is that true with
an adult also?

Well I havent heard of that before.
Adults cannot drown unless they are fully
underwater and cannot get oxygen. Im not
sure about babies, but they should not
have water until a bit older. Milk is
their primary food source, not water.

Babies drink milk..So, no.
But I think I know what you are talking
about.
An adult can drink themselves to death.
That is drink so much water they die. It
has happened in a case with an athlete.
You can drink so much water that it thins
your blood out and basically makes your
blood water...You will have more water
than blood in your veins.

you can drink enough water to get a low
blood sodium (usually only if you have a
psychiatric problem) but you wouldn't
"have more water than blood in your veins"
