I know rhis is lemmy shitpost, and this post is a joke, but in case it is not please watch this: https://youtu.be/LUGdQnxuixI
It's based on actual case of exactly this, explained by actual doctor. I can recommend watching even if this is a joke, chubbyemu makes amazing videos.
OK it was what I expected.
TLDR; the "horse" part of this wasn't really the problem other than that it's easier to purchase an unhinged quantity at a veterinary supply store. If he was reconstituting to the proper strength (being sober would have helped with that) the electrolytes themselves wouldn't have been an issue (and honestly are actually beneficial when imbibing).
I figured it had to be, iirc from reading veterinary metabolic panel normal ranges most of us placental mammals have roughly the same electrolyte balances. Afaik it goes back to whether you have a common ancestor only before or also after leaving the ocean and that your balance is reflective of the ocean's balance at that time.
It sounds like there were a few things that might have built up if he'd kept drinking it in it's intended strength chronically but the core issue was him drinking essentially a straight salt slurry.
Wow - what a twist! Thanks for sharing.
Wow, what a show!
