This is how a lot of ravers die. They take ecstasy, dance, and then drink too much water.

A lot?
I'd imagine a much higher percentage die from dehydration than excess hydration.

I won't define "a lot", but it does happen frequently.
You would think that dehydration was the main fear, but that is why they drink so much. The fear of dehydration leads to the excess hydration. [/b][/quote]
Geez you guys make it sound like ravers are dropping like flies at parties...
I can't remember the last time I've heard about a raver dying from dehydration, excess hydration or ODing in Calgary (or Canada for that matter).
It's pretty rare.
And actually, to drink too much water you have to drink a crazy amount of fluid. Most people would throw up before they changed the sodium levels in their blood stream enough. I think the reason it happens with ravers is that the chemicals they take somehow multiply the effect, changes the solubility level in their blood stream to a certain extent.
