Yes you can. It's called water intoxication. If you drink too much water it will cause your sodium level to drop. It's extremely rare and you'd have to drink gallons and gallons.

There are several situations where people have drunk too much water. One is during water drinking competitions or bets where people end up drinking too much. Another is during activities where people keep hydrating without regard to thirst.

The problem with too much water is that the blood becomes too thin. For athletes this can usually mean collapse and breakdown of muscles. It can also lead to death.

Yes, but you'd have to drink a whole lot. It's recommended to drink at least eight glasses of water every day. If you're drinking a gallon of water while working out, then be sure to have something extra like a piece of fruit or Gatorade.
