What happens when you drink tons of water after you’re already drunk?

I got pretty hammered the other night, but unlike other times, once I realized I was too drunk for my own good, I started pounding back ice waters like no tomorrow.

What happened to me after was strange. At first, the more water I drank, the worse I began to feel. I started getting the spins, my stomach felt unsettled, and I stopped talking to everyone and just sat there as I continued to drink water until I couldn’t anymore.

I had to go out to the car and sit there for a while. All of a sudden I got really fatigued and just laid my head back and closed my eyes for about 15 minutes. After that I felt fine, almost as if I wasn’t drunk anymore. Weird!

Can anyone explain this? I thought drinking water would make me feel slightly less drunk and therefore my euphoria would last longer, but In the end it just made me sober(ish).
