    So that means 7.2 litres of water to kill an 80 kg human. That’s a lot of water to down in one short sitting.

    Not easy to do. Fortunately.

      Back in college, there was this thing called the “4, 4, 40 challenge” where one would have to drink 4 liters of water, in 4 minutes and hold it down for 40 secs. Lots of vomiting would ensue.

      well, not exactly. since this is the LD50, drinking 7.2 liters of water would kill about half of the population that try. the other half would survive
