Correct. I have no idea why people are freaking out over drinking water. We constantly eat and drink things that have wildly different osmolarity than our cells and yet here we still are. Our stomach and intestinal mucosa cells are not going to burst if we accidentally drink a milkshake (a hyperosmotic solution).

From what I can tell, they were told about osmosis and did not understand the actual volume of water involved in the quirky example of extremeness.
