A water drinking competition seems inherently dangerous and unwise for exactly that reason. Most people who are not medical professionals will not realise that water is harmful in large amounts.
The analogy to this is that encouraging people to go out into the wilderness in search of treasure is going to encourage people to exceed what their comfort zone would be if there's no reward.
- throwaway0a5e 6y agoHiking in remote parts of the southwest is an activity encouraged by all manner of government and private entities with a vested interest in the tourism industry. It's simply not an issue. People are still expected to be responsible for their own well being and it's still ok to advertise and promote things that have nonzero amounts of risk associated with them (like beer). >treasure is going to encourage people to exceed what their comfort zone would be if there's no reward. Any more than taking dumb selfies for "the "gram" encourages them to exceed their comfort zone?
