  The idea is that you can get water intoxiation from it
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_intoxication). However, the notion
that distilled water is significantly more dangerous in this regard
than regular tap water is, AFAIK, just an urban legend.

  If you drink 10 litres in one go, you might get problems (ie. water
intoxication), but the same is true for any kind of water. The urban
legend usually sounds like it's enough to just drink one glass of it.
