Yea, but how much is too much? Drinking too much water can lead to water intoxication and to the dilution of sodium in the body, this can imbalance the homeostasis of the body, leading to hyponatremia.

So what is the right amount of water for the body? People usually say 8 ounces, but different body different needs, so ask your doctor about it  Smiley

I think on a regular basisit is hard to drink intoxicating amounts of water. That usually happens at raves.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - A woman who competed in a radio station’s contest to see how much water she could drink without going to the bathroom died of water intoxication, the coroner’s office said Saturday.

Jennifer Strange, 28, was found dead Friday in her suburban Rancho Cordova home hours after taking part in the “Hold Your Wee for a Wii” contest in which KDND 107.9 promised a Nintendo Wii video game system for the winner.

“She said to one of our supervisors that she was on her way home and her head was hurting her real bad,” said Laura Rios, one of Strange’s co-workers at Radiological Associates of Sacramento. “She was crying and that was the last that anyone had heard from her.”

you say that like it's mandatory. for them to have such drugs. Some do, some don't. Raves are defined by the kind of music played which is electronica for the most part

But yea with Ecstasy, you are supposed to drink alot of water.
