I tracked my water intake for the first time today as I was worried it might be a bit high and came to the conclusion that my typical 12-15 hour amp binge involves a water intake of roughly 2-2.5 gallons as well as a protein content of around 300-350 mg in the form of protein shakes. I do this roughly 4x/week.

I normally take in high amounts of electrolytes but don't go out of my way to consume excess sodium. I do sometimes get minor muscle spasms when coming down, which I contribute to hyponatremia. I've decided to schedule an appointment for some blood work tomorrow.

What are your all's water intake levels?

Ahh, I spelled consume wrong. Can a mod change the title please? I'm a little OCD if you couldn't tell.
 
It's good to drink more water than normal, you just want to make sure your replenishing your electrolytes and other nutrients at the same time. Drink things like gatorade part of the time or have some healthy snacks. Potassium is good too, especially if you're having any muscles aches etc - eat a banana. I usually drink quite a lot of fluids on amps, which is good because normally I am not motivated to drink enough water. I've never measured precisely how many gallons or anything though.
 
Too much water on anything like mdma or amps or similar can give me a fever and overall shit feelings of overheating. Too little is bad obviously, but too much is just as bad. Pretty sure if you have a fever from this, brain damage is increased too, but I can't remember where I read this (an MDMA study I'd imagine). I've never measured how much I drink, the correct amount should vary from person to person..
 
I only use, d-amp but I always make sure to stay hydrated. Water is best. I probably drink anywhere from six to twelve bottles a day. Gatorade isn't bad the odd time, I had one today. I also lovee loveee loveeeee me them vitamin waters even though they make me piss like a pregnant lady, those vitamin waters go through me in like 20 mins. hahah yea drink water, but not too much ^ he's right, there have been times when I have over done it, the headache sucks but goes away. yea about six bottles of water per day for me
 
I drink quite a few 32oz gatorades and lots of water, but it's very important to not imbalance your electrolytes through overconsumption of water.
 
Usually, not enough. I'll forget to drink and notice it when it's too late. It doesn't even cross my mind most of the time - a good indicator is that only on amphetamines will I open a beer bottle and set it down before taking a sip (this happens often, and sometimes it sits there for an hour or two before I have a bit and realize it's gone stale).

Somewhat paradoxically, when I'm out partying and dancing I stay the most hydrated. Going to clubs has become ridiculously cheap for me, actually, since I'll take drugs in advance, and I end up just drinking glass after glass of water at the club, which is usually free.
 
Haha, the clubs I used to frequent caught on to people doing this and started charging quite a bit for water :)

Sir thizzalot - the problem is not from drinking a lot of water, it's from drinking a lot of water while not replenishing electrolytes.
 
Never enough. I'll get too busy jackin and cammin. Usually I'll only remember when one of my cam buds takes a drink, and then in my head i'm thinking "OH YEAH! Herp Derp" and I'll take a drink, which is even difficult to do sometimes, and then forget for another 2 hours. I very literally now have to set repeating alarms on my phone to remind me to have even a single swig of something to drink. I'm very susceptible to this effect obviously.
 
I am lucky in the only club that I frequent supplies free water. They probably charge for bottled water but I've never seen anyone there with a bottled water. The free water definitely makes it cheap along with the fact that since I can't purchase alcohol yet, I just get drunk before coming in.

As far as outrageous cost of water, I have seen the most ridiculous pricing.

As far as your question in relation to water consumption, I've heard a ratio of 2-1 water to gatorade is good. So for every 4 16 oz. bottles of water you consume, 1 32 oz. gatorade would be appropriate.

Good advice IMO and will aim for this, water with Gatorade like both going at same time is good imo too, the Gatorade does last a long time, I still have the same one as this morning and I have had 5 bottles of water, the 2:1 is sound as fuck advice. nice
edit, and LSD i just noticed the nuance in your location, nice, keep on truckin, like the dodahman
 
^That's pretty much how I do it. I'm not strict about ratios but it ends up being about 2:1, although sometimes I drink more gatorade than I do water.
 
Some festivals/gatherings have free water in those upright spicket things. Some run out of water. I have seen someone buy water for 12 bucks @ bottle of Dasani at a festivals. I digress however. I am on alot of amps, especially desoxsyn (methamp) and (m)ethylphenidate. I drink alot of purple powerade/gatorade and eat banannas. Adderall makes me alot worse. Aren't AMPS diuretics(sp?) they make you piss alot so therefore you would naturally drink/consume more fluid?

Festivals are like Sudanese refugee camps when it comes to water, especially the larger ones with stricter - into / out of the music area - guide lines. I mean where they search you coming into or out of the camping/vending to see the music/art. The year they did Echo Project outside of ATL it was fucking duststorm, water was like 7-8 a bottle if not more. Before Phil + Friends played some cute dready chick k'd out ofer mind gave us a half gram of beautifully pure coke and 2 fat lines of K in the little mini-cabin things in the middle.
 
When you are hydrating your self you have to keep the electrolytes in balanced. If you drink too much plain water your brain and body tissues will swell. This is because water follows sodium/ salt. If you drink things with a lot of sodium you dehydrate your cells. Same principle water follows sodium.

You need to keep the balance of 0.09% of sodium to keep your body running right.

So when you drink make sure it has at least some sodim and electrolytes in it to prevent dehydration. Stay away from high salt food like roman noodles and such. If you do eat high salty foods drink plain water to dilute the sodium.
 
You shouldn't only drink protein shakes for your protein sources, your body can only absorb so much of it. You need to force yourself to eat (which is what I do and it makes me feel SO Much better and the comedown WAY less, however I do admit it fucking sucks when you are trying to eat with no appetite and a dry mouth lol)

And damn that's alot of water but that is good. I normally drink a gallon a day but when I binge i drink a gallon and a half.
