Stimulants Proper hydration during amphetamine binge

[papi_bosox]

I know that you need to stay well-hydrated during a binge, but to what extent? I probably drink about a liter or two of water per hour. however, i've read that you can drink too much water. so i have a few questions:

1. at what rate should i drink?
2. how often should i drink gatorade/electrolytes?
3. how much water is too much?
4. would it be beneficial to take a diuretic (which is also a vasodilator)

1. at what rate should i drink?

250mL - 500mL per hour, before you feel thirsty

2. how often should i drink gatorade/electrolytes?

Every other drink, Gatorade mixed with with water is the best way go to.

3. how much water is too much?

I wouldn't drink more than a liter or two of water per hour. Make sure you're getting enough salts/electrolytes and you'll be good. Water intoxication is due to drinking too much water without enough electrolytes and causing an electrolyte imbalance.

4. would it be beneficial to take a diuretic (which is also a vasodilator)

No, taking a diuretic will make you more dehydrated.

thanks neighborhoodthreat.

occasionally i've experienced the swelling of feet/hands discussed here. that thread says that it's due to the body not removing sodium properly. are you sure i should avoid diuretics at all costs?

It's up to, really, I don't know what kind of binge you're planning on going on but I've followed the guidelines above and my body has no problem pissing out everything I put into it, and I drink a lot of water while I'm speeding (mainly due to dry mouth).

Unless you really think you need it, skip the diurectic. Amphetamine will make you piss a lot anyway.

I would say you want to drink water at a slow and steady rate, gulping down a lot of water at once is to be avoided.

I would go by what NT said to do.

It's easy to notice that you're thirsty and haven't had any water for a while when you're getting caught up in doing something on amphetamine, so just make sure to have a bottle of water near by.

Water is essential for a amp binge. It really does make a world of difference when you comedown. In fact i can almost avoid the comedown completely, besides being tired, if i have water.

all right guys thank you for your responses. i was really worried that i was experiencing swelling due to drinking too much water/gatorade (ie salt)

I can attest to this. Last time I experienced the worst come down of my life was after doin meth for a couple days and not drinking nearly enough water. Felt like I was dying. lol. I was too caught up in what I was doing the first night to notice how dehydrated I was til I pissed the next morning and it was like brown. Avoid this.
