From BBC news

A look back at the legacy of the media implications of the death of Leah Betts in 1995. I wonder what would have happened if she had been able to make use of services such as this back then...

    I think actually her story had a negative impact on harm reduction, once the real story got out it was seen as another tabloid scare story and the government lying about drug dangers.

    It's funny how if she was told the proper effects of E's she'd know not to drink 3 litres of water in a short time instead of hearing how bad it is all the time.

    The advice of 'drink a pint an hour' used to be the norm, but if you just sip water when you are thirsty you are unlikely to cause yourself any problems.

    Obviously the more people drink with pills the worse problems they will get into.

    That is a bit drastic, is he using it with any other drugs at the time, obviously alcohol, caffiene and amphetamines will make you uriniate.
