Aquaholics: Addicted to drinking water

MynameisnotDeja said:
Thats me...I HAVE to have a source of water near me at all times or I feel...completely freaked. I take a bottle with me anyplace I couldnt get water immediately (shopping, the movies) and almost always have a glass at my side while Im chillin at home. I pee SO much! BUt it makes me feel really clean. I do think its unhealthy to drink too much though, Ive gotten sick from it before. Now I drink plenty but I force myself to sip it instead of gulp it. In the past Id just gulp one cup down, get another, and gulp that down, and so on. I find a lot of it is the psychological need to just have the water near me than actual thirst.

P.S. I NEVER was like this until about 6 years ago I had to pass a piss test and for a week I was drinking as much water as possible trying to clean my system. It felt so good I never wanted to stop!

If you do insist on doing it, having salty food more often will help. There is a fine balance with the body's hydration/sodium levels. That's one reason why we are given a saline drip instead of a water drip if we are dehydrated.
 
i'm definately addicted to drinking water...average a gallon a day and many times drink up to a gallon and a half in a day...it's all filtered tap water though
 
water

few days ago i realised the incredible power of pure water. no im not high, nor was i when i had this discovery. from now on, when im feeling fatigue, tired, bored or down im having 2-3 big glasses of cold water man. it wont cure times of hard depression but it takes you quite a bit on the way, fucking underestimated stimulant. =D
 
thats great buddy. youre supposed to drink 8 glasses a day or something like that.
 
^^merged with original aquaholics thread.
I need to have a gallon of ice water with me at all times.... no joke. Iced water, ginger tea or green tea...doesnt matter....I'm always hydrating and drinking like a fish. It may have something to do with me living in the tropics as well. <3 H20!!!
