Not quite accurate for someone taking MDMA. From TheDEA.org:
"Although you can endanger yourself by forcing yourself to drink large amounts of water while sober, there's an extra twist when dealing with MDMA: Antidiuretic hormone. MDMA places a stress on your system, and one of your body's responses to this stress is to release a chemical that tells the kidneys to allow more of the water they collect to escape back into the bloodstream.[1] As a result, while on MDMA you usually don't have to go to the bathroom for several hours, as the volume of urine being produced is greatly reduced. (The kidneys keep working, they just send less water on to the bladder.) This odd effect can remove what would normally be the main line of defense against hyponatremia: The ability to urinate out at least part of the excess water. As noted in Heatstroke, users who are not dancing or otherwise exerting themselves for extended periods don't need a plan; just drink as you normally would or as thirst dictates. If active, up to a liter of water (or better yet, sports drinks like Gatorade) per hour of heavy exercise is appropriate. These hyponatremia deaths occur because people misunderstood the problem; such tragedies should be very easily avoided.
A note on hyponatremia: It doesn't necessarily require drinking far too much water. Endurance athletes will sometimes suffer hyponatremia because of all the salt they've lost in sweat. However, cases severe enough to be fatal seem to always be the result of uncontrolled water intake. The ideal solution for athletes are drinks that replace sodium as well as water...if you wish, you can add a little table salt (perhaps a quarter of a teaspoon per liter) to your drinking water."

So if I understand this correctly then one could benefit from taking an herbal diuretic to counter act the affects? |

The part that found interesting was:
"Balaban also noted that because a trip from the Strip to the speedway and back would take about an hour, it could take a cab out of circulation that normally would be used by Strip patrons." |
