juomavedenlaadun

Juomavedenlaadun is a traditional Finnish concept that translates to "water intoxication" in English. It refers to the practice of drinking large quantities of water to intoxication, often as a form of social ritual or test of endurance.

Historically, juomavedenlaadun was practiced in rural Finland particularly during the heavier days of manual labor. Drinking excessive amounts of water could help alleviate the physical strain of labor on the farmers. However, these excessive water intake also led to various health issues like water poisoning and in severe cases even drowning by cerebral edema in rare situations.

In the modern era, this practice has largely fallen out of favor in Finland due to its risks. However, remaining instances of juomavedenlaadun still serve as social events bringing light-hearted parties among friends. Also, it helps contribute to support health studies around issues surrounding water tolerance and its effects on human body.

Some researchers have noted that the effects of juomavedenlaadun are related to the variant of ribosomal dysfunction, a specific form of infection which could cause delayed severe kidney damage in some victims. The death rate among participants in such events is considered as near-zero in well conducted experiments eliminating the most risky behaviors from context.
