I was wondering if anyone finds thirt a symptom of water intoxication?
Last weekend I was dancing away, sticking to the recommended 500mls of water but soon found myself ploughing through a bottle or more per half an hour. The strange thing was that the more I drank, the more my craving for water increased. I was starting to get light headed, dizzy and a bit disorientated. I figured I couldn't possibly be dehydrated, yet the more water I drank the better I momentarily felt and the more I felt like I needed to drink water. I continued chugging back water and could feel myself slipping into a weird, cloudy, euphoric headspace. Something like drunkeness.
Finally I convinced myself to stop and I vacated to a cool quiet area, forced some foul extra salty, maccas fries down (an effort in itself) and talked to randoms the rest of the night.
Does anyone else get the urge to over-hydrate? Normally, I just sip water and struggle to get 500mls an hour, so it was quite an odd experience.
