It's good to keep hydrated, but can you drink too much water so that you're doing harm rather than good?

Yes. You can screw up your electrolyte balance. It makes you feel drunk, actually.

PS You don't need Gatorade for electrolytes. Water with a little sugar or honey and salt will do the trick for about 1/10 of 1% of the cost.

Yes, you can die. Though it takes a LOT of water. Marathon runners have overhydrated themselves and died.
