When you find yourself pissing every 5 minutes, indication that your body has overly absurbed. :lol: :P

Recommended daily water intake is about 2 litres.

Here's an article..

You would need to chug down about three quarts of water or more all at once to come down with a case of true water intoxication. It does happen, but so rarely that I couldn't find statistics on the number of cases. These people become drowsy, lightheaded, and weak. They have trouble coordinating bodily movements and thinking straight, looking and feeling as if they just stumbled out of the local bar. But the water-intoxicated can't just go home and sleep it off. They must get treatment or risk going into convulsions, a coma, or even death.

too much water can cause your brain to swel and also stop other organs working.

She didnt, she drank the water cos she thought thats what your meant to do. I have done x amount in a night and i have never drunk anywhere near that.

No it didnt




Doctors who treated her at Broomfield Hospital, Chelmsford, Essex, where she was taken after lapsing into a coma at home during her 18th birthday party, will tell the coroner that "water intoxication", and not an allergic reaction to the drug, was the cause of death. The inquest into her death is to open in Chelmsford today but is expected to be adjourned. The coroner will receive a post-mortem report by the Home Office pathologist Dr Paula Lammis.

Water intoxication occurs when a person drinks so much water - a minimum of three litres - that the blood becomes diluted. Laboratory results show that on admission to hospital hours after taking the 10 pounds tablet, Leah&#39;s plasma sodium level - a measure of how dilute her blood had become - had fallen to 126 millimoles per litre compared with a normal range of 134 to 145.

As a result, water was sucked into her brain cells under osmotic pressure, causing them to swell. This increased pressure on the brain stem, resulting in coma and death.



Overheating and dehydration are known risks of taking Ecstasy, a stimulant which can keep young people dancing for hours, and drug agencies advise users to drink plenty of water and take frequent rests.

Although she had not been dancing energetically for hours, it is understood that when Leah began to feel unwell at the party she made repeated trips to the bathroom to drink water. She believed mistakenly that this was the way to ward off the ill-effects of the drug.

Leah&#39;s case attracted national attention after her parents tried to alert young people to the dangers of drug-taking, releasing a photograph of her in intensive care. At Prime Minister&#39;s Question Time yesterday, John Major expressed sympathy for the girl&#39;s parents.

Experts said yesterday that a single pill of the drug could not have poisoned her and was highly unlikely to have caused an allergic reaction. Analysis of blood samples has also shown that the pill was not contaminated, as earlier speculation had suggested. Friends who took the same pills were unaffected.


Read that and stop talking shite :frusty:

The water killed her but if she hadn&#39;t taken the pill, she wouldn&#39;t have drunk all that water.

I&#39;d say both water and the pill are to blame but for different reasons -- the water was what physically killed her but the psycological reason for her drinking the excessive amount of water was a voluntary, cognitive reaction to taking an extacy pill.

Moral - If you&#39;re going to take an E, keep half an eye on the amount of water you drink.

I bet

[Snee]

I saw this australian thing once where someone died of that, they said the x made her misread her body signals, so she sort of thought she&#39;d drunk too little and that she was thirsty.

And it was at this rave too, and you gotta make sure you get enough fluids at those, &#39;cos it&#39;s really easy to get dehydrated when you dance for long intervals.
