does drinking a lot of water help get cocaine out of the blood stream quicker?

This is akin to whether drinking more water will help 'dilute' alcohol concentration. The answer to your question is basically NO. Drinking water will not quicken any process to get the drugs out of your system. The fastest way is to just take a rest. Your body will then be able to redirect more of its resources to get rid of the cocaine. So basically, just sleep, eat and drink when necessary, until you feel more clean.

to my knowledge cocaine can stay in your system for at least 72 hours.

You can drink too much water, especially if you drink it to fast. Drinking too much water can lead to a condition known as water intoxication and to a related problem resulting from the dilution of sodium in the body, hyponatremia

chug cold water it burns more fat or something! it also helps clean your urinary tract out, and also keeping hydrated also helps you sweat impurities out, leaving you lean and skin radiant.

Yes, water helps a lot. Here's why . . .\n\nalcohol causes you to dehydrate. When you start drinking, you notice you have to urinate a lot. That is your body reacting to the alcohol: it is so toxic to your body that your body sacrifices its water stores to get rid of it.\n\nThis results in dehydration, which in turn causes a hangover.\n\nSo, when you want to drink, then yes, drink plenty of water. You won't get as drunk and you won't be as hungover the next day.\n\nI guess that regulating the amount you drink is the best answer, but that asides, hydrate yourself.

not "drunk" but you can overhydrate yourself.\n\nWhen too much water enters the body's cells, the tissues swell with the excess fluid. Your cells maintain a specific concentration gradient, so excess water outside the cells (the serum) draws sodium from within the cells out into the serum in an attempt to re-establish the necessary concentration. As more water accumulates, the serum sodium concentration drops -- a condition known as hyponatremia. The other way cells try to regain the electrolyte balance is for water outside the cells to rush into the cells via osmosis. The movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from higher to lower concentration is called osmosis. Although electrolytes are more concentrated inside the cells than outside, the water outside the cells is 'more concentrated' or 'less dilute' since it contains fewer electrolytes. Both electrolytes and water move across the cell membrane in an effort to balance concentration. Theoretically, cells could swell to the point of bursting.

Yes, it is healthy to drink 1.5 l water in the morning.\nkidney's would benefit on the contrary to getting damaged as they will process a relatively pure and dilute blood, which is otherwise more concentrated and impure because of other elements from food etc.\n\nI did try this method for around 6 months and got benefitted. I would also suggest you to use copper vessel to store water overnight that you drink in the morning.

drinking too fast can cause cramps, and drinking too much can actually cause an electrolyte imbalance (because you lose electrolytes when you sweat):\nYes, you can drink too much water in a short period but it is uncommon.\n\nThere is a condition known as "water intoxication" or Hyponatremia.  Hyponatremia results when a dehydrated person drinks too much water without the accompanying electrolytes.\n\nSymptoms:\nThey are similar to those of dehydration (apathy, confusion, nausea, and fatigue), although some individuals show no symptoms at all.  If untreated, hyponatremia can lead to coma and even death.\n\nWho usually does this usually affect?\nWater intoxication is most commonly seen in infants under six months of age and sometimes in long distance athletes like runners and cyclists.  A baby can get water intoxication as a result of drinking several bottles of water a day or from drinking infant formula that has been diluted too much.  Athletes can also suffer from water intoxication. Athletes sweat heavily, losing both water and electrolytes.  \n\nWater intoxication may not just be a problem among athletes.  Some people when hiking can drink large amounts of water and may not eat enough food to provide for the needed electrolyte (salt, potassium) replacement and energy.\n\nPhysiology:\nWhen too much water enters the body's cells, the tissues swell with the excess fluid.  Your cells maintain a specific concentration gradient, so excess water outside the cells (the serum) draws sodium from within the cells out into the serum in an attempt to re-establish the necessary concentration.  As more water accumulates, the serum sodium concentration drops, a condition known as hyponatremia.  The other way cells try to regain the electrolyte balance is for water outside the cells to rush into the cells via osmosis.  The movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from higher to lower concentration is called osmosis.  Although electrolytes are more concentrated inside the cells than outside, the water outside the cells is 'more concentrated' or 'less dilute' since it contains fewer electrolytes.  Both electrolytes and water move across the cell membrane in an effort to balance concentration.  Theoretically, cells could swell to the point of bursting.\n\nFrom the cell's point of view, water intoxication produces the same effects as would result from drowning in fresh water.  Electrolyte imbalance and tissue swelling can cause an irregular heartbeat, allow fluid to enter the lungs, and may cause fluttering eyelids.  Swelling puts pressure on the brain and nerves, which can cause behaviors resembling alcohol intoxication.  Swelling of brain tissues can cause seizures, coma and ultimately death unless water intake is restricted and a hypertonic saline (salt) solution is administered.  If treatment is given before tissue swelling causes too much cellular damage, then a complete recovery can be expected within a few days.\n\nIt's not how much you drink, It's how fast you drink it!\nThe kidneys of a healthy adult can process fifteen liters of water a day! You are unlikely to suffer from water intoxication, even if you drink a lot of water, as long as you drink over time as opposed to intaking an enormous volume at one time.  As a general guideline, most adults need about three quarts of fluid each day.  Much of that water comes from food, so 8-12 eight ounce glasses a day is a common recommended intake.  You will probably need much more water if the weather is hot or very dry, if you are exercising, or if you are taking certain medications.  \n\nHow much?\nThe fluid requirement for the majority of endurance athletes, under most conditions, is about 8 to 16 ounces per hour.  There is considerable variation here, of course, due to individual sweating rates, body size and weight, heat and humidity, and running speed, and other factors.  Still, much more than this amount of fluid is, in most instances

The correct question is, how to get your liver and kidneys to work overtime and dump the stuff out?\n\nTsk.  You need lots of water and lots of pissing time, my friend.  \n\n(And how would you know if your system's clear?  A good indicator:  when you start to prefer writing in grammatically correct English.)

Drink lots of water on the day of your test untill your urine runs clear this is called flushing it will remove traces of drugs in your system all except pot the reason i know this is because my brother use's drugs and is in jail and has random drug test i asked him how he gets away with it and this is what he told me........BTW you should give up whatever drugs you are on

Okay. It all depends on how long ago and how often you smoke the ganja. If your a once and a while toker, it will take about 5-6 days to get out of your system by drinking a lot of water. If your a regular smoker (like me) it will take on average 30-60 days to get completely out of your system by drinking A LOT of water. There are also drinks, diets, and pills that you can take that will dehydrate you and clean all of the "impurities" out of your system. If you do decide to go that path, make sure you drink A LOT of water. Your hair will carry the THC in it until it completely grows out or you shave your head. All hair on your body will carry it. Your blood is almost the same as your urine, so as long as you drink a lot of water, you should be OKAY. Doesn't it suck that such an awesome plant is illegal? It's bull shit huh?

drink 3 gulps of water/another drink.

You'd be better off swallowing the stuff because it doesn't get absorbed through the membrane in your nose the way cocain does. Only the amount that gets down into your stomach will get into your bloodstream which is about 60% or so. Tell your friend that snorting the pills will make her feel like a cool drug addict but those in the know will chew the pills up and hold them under your under their tongue for a few minutes to get the the full and fastest effects.

I also heard that drinking cold water speeds up your matabolism, 'cos your body has to work harder to make the water a suitbale temperature for your body to work on

It helps flush out your system frequently (gets rid of toxins and what have you - ensures good working kidneys - has no calories or refined sugars - hint hint. It hydrates your body, replenishes sweat loss and is essential since more than 75% of our body is made up of water. \n\nWater is required by every cell in the body as nourishment and to remove wastes. When water becomes scarce, the body tries to limit the amount it loses through breathing, mucous production, urination, perspiration and bowel movements.\n\nYOu lose water even when you breathe since the carbon dioxide you breathe out is humid. Coffee, tea and soda all contain caffeine which is a known diuretic and will actually accentuate the symptoms of fluid loss. Fruit juices are more concentrated in sugar than your body's fluids and so the body will attempt to dilute them in the gut thereby causing a loss of water from other areas of the body
