Start drinking alot of fluids. Gatoraide is better than just water, as if you drink too much water, you can die.Gatoraide has sodium to prevent this.

I'm sure OP's not planning on drinking 100 gallons of water within an hour.

1-2 gallons can kill you. It's called a water edema/hyponatremia, wherein the sodium levels in your blood are diluted to the point that it causes your brain to swell, and you die.

Why the hell do you need to do a drugtest for a job?
If you do your job, I wouldn't mind if you used all the drugs in the world.

Don't know why they do to be honest. I am guessing it's because they figure a pothead doesn't do their job as good as someone who doesn't smoke. Stereotypically they will show up for work late, not work when they are there because they're blazed, etc.

But it's not some unknown thing nowadays. 4 out of the last 5 jobs I've worked drug tested me before my start date. Especially retail stores, they're notorious for it but supposedly they are "random" for new employees.

AND U DID NOT LEVEL ME

even if good2cu was leveling, I know for a fact manguydude21 wasn't. he obviously does not read anything on the internet, watch national television, or listen to the radio to hear the story from like 2 weeks ago about the girl who died from "holding her wee for a wii" which was the most blatant story regarding water intoxication.

there was another story from a couple years ago where a small child wouldn't eat their food so the parents made them drink glasses and glasses of water instead for punishment and it killed the kid.

I'm sure I drank about a gallon or more during football practice without peeing.

hmm, in football practice does your body get rid of water somehow??

edit: and most likely it wasn't a gallon and you're exaggerating because most people get sick from drinking a gallon of water, as in throwing up. but I guess it is possible because you were at practice and you were sweating it off. and probably urinating some too when you take a big hit, etc.

A lady died drinking about this much a couple weeks ago. Did it in a radio contest trying to win an xbox or something. she drank just under 2 gal. It happens quite a bit, with college pranks, bar bets, etc. Just hit the news cuz a radio station was running the contest.
