i have a drinking problem

[brianmanahan]

i usually drink like 15-20 cups of water a day

but my doctor just told me not to drink any more than 8

i honestly don't know what i am going to do, i always feel like i need to be sipping something, it's like a bad habit

 

[lxskllr]

8oz cups? 136oz is kind of a lot, but I wouldn't consider it excessive.

 

[brianmanahan]

yeah 8 oz cups

i'm gonna be so parched

I need a gallon a day thanks to my pancreas giving out on me for absolutely no reason whatsoever.

That's a crazy amount of water to drink, I would pretty much be peeing non stop if I drinked that much. Just hook me up to a catheter lol.

Get out of the sauna. Or turn your heating down.

Do you have diabetes?

 

[brianmanahan]

Do you have diabetes?

nope, fasting sugar's always below 100

i take a medicine that leeches away all my salt though

actually i do keep it pretty warm in my apartment, i should try turning down the heat

but i'll probably get so cold

Switch to sipping whiskey. Harder to chug.

Add some humidity?

There's a lot of social pressure to chug down water, though. I certainly encounter people who think we _should_ drink that much of the stuff every day - and sometimes push it as a cure for all ills. Somehow this thing about drinking so many cups of water every day became pop-health-advice and refuses to die. Perhaps the story is spread by Big Water.

I drink 12 glasses of water a day because it prevents coronavirus

Get a sippy cup and glue shut all but one of the holes. Or you could drink through a coffee stirrer. Of course all that sucking might cause you to pass out with a headache and you'll have to go back to the doctor.

 

[nakedfrog]

That sure does seem like a lot.
Maybe if you filled your mouth with something else, the urge to drink water would decline.


BTW, I'm referring to a penis. Put a penis in your mouth, and your woes will melt away.

Prevents coronavirus too.

How do you not have to piss every 10 minutes?

maybe i have the bladder of an elephant... idk really

actually it takes about 2-3 consecutive days of heavy water intake for me to have to really go much at all

i think there's something really wrong with my body but doctors just can't see it

hence why i expect to die some time in the next 5-10 years

Erm, do you sweat a lot? Your body will normally expel a fairly large amount of the water you drink, at least a couple times a day. If you aren't pissing but once or less a day, something's wrong.

nah i don't really sweat

i mean i normally have to go a few times a day

but after 2-3 days of drinking all that water it's like once every 3 hours tops (maybe that is just too much water)

Oh, that's normal. I drink probably a gallon or two a day, and i'm about that regular as well.

Don't sweat it (pun intended).
