Hello, I'm a long time reader of BL (despite not having ingested a drug for 6 years sans-alcohol/tobacco!)
When I was in my teens/early twenties I experimented with cannabis/cocaine/LSD/Ecstacy with friends.
There was one particular experience which frightens me in retrospect as I think I could of genuinely endangered my life:
One night me and my usual array of friends had picked up a few grams of cocaine which felt fairly strong, we did a few lines at a friends house we'd congregated at then headed off on foot to a nearby pub where we drank for a couple of hours, probably consuming around 4 pints of lager each then headed back and continued to snort cocaine and smoke weed.
In total at this point I'd probably consumed 1/4th of a gram of coke, 4 pints of 5% lager and smoked a joint in a period of 4 hours.
Suddenly I felt extremely dehydrated so I grabbed a can of sprite from the fridge and quickly drank it, my thirst wasn't quenched at all so I repeated, after 4 cans of sprite and a fair amount of burping I decided to try pints of water, I drank several and my thirst was still completely unquenched.
A friend shouted for me upstairs so I left the kitchen, I declined any more cocaine but continued to smoke, for the next couple of hours I periodically went downstairs to drink pints of water (I felt oddly embarrassed so I didn't mention it to my friends) eventually everyone had passed out and I too fell asleep, still extremely thirsty but woke up the next day hydrated.
The thing that scares me is that if I had lived nearby or everyone had left, I would of basically drank water till I died of overhydration?
What are your thoughts?, why wasn't I able to quench my thirst despite massive quantities of water?
