    You could. Dont take it while you are there though. Alcohol is a bad enough diuretic.

    alcohol is not a diurectic actually the exact opposite. It bloats your body while dehydrating you.

    something that causes dehydration=diuretic.

    I know myself after a night of drinking the next morning I am ripped. Please explain your logic.

    yes it does cause dehydration, but it is NOT a diurectic. I can't remember the explanation, but I have a drugs and behavior class and my professor just talked about. Something it does to the tissue. Diuretics would be good if u wanna look leaner on spring break ie. dandelion root, b6, or you can buy diurectics spec. for that purpose.
