I think I have a serious drinking problem
 

yep - i think i have a serious drinking problem

i have to drink something in the morning - usuall 1/2 liter of water or juice of milk - and that's no enough - 1-2 hours later i need another 1/2 liter of water.

lunchtime another 1/2 liter of milk/juice or water - then 1-2 hours later another 1/2 liter.

hell if i workout add another liter in there of water.

probally another liter before supper - and another 2 over the evening before i goto bed.

fuck i think i drink probally 4-6 liters of liquid a day - and the weird part is i think i only pee out about 2 liters? my cloths arn't drenched in sweat - where does it go?

do i have a problem here?

thoughts

Doesn't seem to out there... I'm much the same way... especially when working out. Body needs water..

You sweat it out and it evaporates. It's fairly normal for a large guy in the heat.

I think you must see a doctor to consult your problem.

but i do that when it's cold out too

Hmmm, it must be going somewhere. Some people have overactive sweat glands naturally. Although I'd imagine you'd know if you were sweating a lot.

When I was younger, I used to sweat a lot .. Hot or cold it didn't matter. Mind you, I noticed it.

when it's hot i sweat - i'm human - but i live in air conditioning and i go though this water even in winter.

add alot more liquor to your intake and you'll be fine.

i think that is just normal.. i drink almost the same amount (well a little less), but the point is, i drink a lot too.. and that's no problem. that's actually good in the contrary. you must sweat a lot?!

diabetes?

Maybe you sprung a leak.

Try this. Lather yourself up with soap, take a big breath in and hold it. If your skin starts to bubble anywhere, you've found the leak!

The only problem I see is the absence of alcohol.

Hey there Sleazy! Haven't chatted with you in a while and thought I'd drop by to say "HI"...

Oh yeah, excessive intake of liquids and still always being thirsty is a classic sign of diabetes. :(

Strike 2.

that was my guess

I go thru 4 Powerade's a day but then I need the electrolytes

I don't see any problem on that. Maybe you are just hyper active to sweat a lot, therefore you need enough water to replenish the amount that you lost.

diabetes or hyperthyroidism?

maybe too much sodium in your body too... or you're just crazy :)

If it was diabetes he would be pissing a lot more. Still might want to get checked out though.

Drinking lots of water is good for you, especially if you're trying to lose weight!

I don't think it's normal.. you might see a dr.

yes, especially in the winter, for the antifreeze effects of it :1orglaugh

Exactly :1orglaugh

rather healthy then weird

Well, I was told that at my size I should have 3ltrs of pure water a day at least...so maybe it isn't totally off. Though, I don't really want to know how you know you pee out 2ltrs a day ;)

its good to drink a lot of water and its very good to drink it during a whole day not in 1 or 2 times.But its very bad if you don't pee enought - uric acid from pee can destroy your bones (specialy knees)

damn i think i have the same problem, should i seek help? ;)

Wow, Maybe you're really a skinny guy who's just retaining water. :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Do you use a lot of salt?

i have the same problem... ive had it for 10 years... when i was in the military I went to them to get to the bottom of it (since the medical was free, why not?).. they did all kinds of tests, and they came up with nothing other than 'it's good to drink alot of liquids, no such thing as too much for ya'... It didnt answer why I was different than everyone else, but hey, I'm doing fine thus far.


I would drink water, not milk and not gatorade... im told it has alot of sodium in it... oh and VERY easy on salty foods and salt/soy sauce...

i drink about 2 gallons per day, dunno how many liters that is because I'm not cool.

You drink more or less 2 liters or milk/juice per day? That's almost 1500 calories per day.

Duh. Not only you are drinking almost your daily amount of calories, but increased thirst might be a sign of Mr. Type 2 diabetes. Since your BMI has propably been in the morbidly obese status for so many years, I wouldn't be suprised.. Enjoy.

Not sure about the sweat and pee thing, but it's normal drooling alot when you are porn webbie.

look down and then try to explain again.

probably better to ask a real doctor instead of the GFY doctors :2 cents:

Go to the doctor and let him have a look at it, 4-6 liters is quite a load :2 cents:

That was my first thought too.

C'mon Sleazy - you get that "free" healthcare in Canada - get thee to a doctor!

I'd hit it. LOL

it's not a problem.Just drink and enjoy.Some have to some don't.That's it :)

just go to juicy anonymous.

i drink gallons of water daily as well.

its 7 am, been up since 5 am and have already drank about 4 big glasses of water

nothing wrong with drinking water. even liters and liters of it.

Even a healthy person can drink too much water. It's actually called Water Intoxication

The extra liquid goes to your belly.

true you can die if you drink too much water at one time

umm.. so like maybe i should see a doctor for diabetes since i get hella thirsty after going without water for like 30 minutes...? i didnt know severe thirst was a sign?

I won't use the D-word here but you should see your doctor ASAP.
