I'm a water adict

I drink water. I drink a lot of water. I realized how much more water I drink than other people when I went on a road trip with some friends. I was the one who always had to stop to pee and when ever we did I came back with a liter of water to fill myself up again. I drink at least 2 32 ounce water jugs a day. I also have 2 cups of tea and a decaf coffee (usually). If I am busy on the weekends sometimes I get dehydrated and I feel it. I get cranky and a headache. I think my body is just used to my current water intake. I always have a water near by. In the car I make sure I have several stashed water bottles so I can drink (water not alcohol) while I'm driving.

It may have something to do with the fact that I am lactating (I am breastfeeding my youngest). But I drank a lot of water before I had my kids too. Maybe not as much as I do now, but a lot. I read a while ago that sometimes people confuse thirst with hunger. I'm not sure that is my problem. I think I started being conscious about hydration when I was in undergrad at University of Florida. I had this roommate who was also obsessed with water and she was always telling me to drink more. Over all I don't think this is a bad thing. It just makes me have to pee a lot.

I think I did overdose on water once. I had to take a drug test for a job I was applying for and I did one of those detox kits where you make a tea and you have to drink a gallon of it in a short amount of time. Then right before the test you take these vitamins that make your pee yellow so as not to raise suspicion. Maybe it was 2 gallons. I don't remember exactly. I took the test and was fine but later that night I went out with a friend to a bar and had one drink. I started shaking then fainted right in the middle of the bar. It was embarrassing because I was acting like I was wasted but I wasn't. Looking back I think my electrolytes were out of balance. I passed the test and got the job by the way.
