It’s not about too much too fast. It’s being in a dehydrating situation while hydrating with only water without any salts in it. Mineral water for instance has electrolytes, so you would never get hyponatremia from drinking tons of mineral water.
So for instance in the army, when doing water supply, we’d add a spoon or two of salt to the 30 litre jugs of water.
And no, no drowning when you drink. We drown when we breathe in water, not when we drink it. Too different organs; lungs and the stomach.
You can get Hyponatremia from drinking too much water too fast. I don’t know about drowning.
