I drink a lot of liquids...

[IThinkIamFeelingit]

you could have cushings disease and diabetes, double whammy

whenever I have bad news, I now know who will deliver it for me. LOL

i know exactly how you feel man, sometimes i will chug some cool liquids down even if im not thirsty (or even really too fucking full to be drinking anything) just for the feeling of it going down my throat lol. gatorade is my fav for this, i can pull those so quickly.

i think what you're describing is pretty normal though. i mean i don't drink quite as much as you but it doesnt seem unhealthy or too crazy to me, you just like to drink!

Hmmm.

I'm a student nurse at the moment, from a medical point of view, its a symptom of diabetes.

Probably type 1 if you are still quite young.

Or maybe you just have a high metabolism or something...

Cushings isn't likely, Bizz- chances are he'd be overweight with purple striae on his abdomen, and usually a round moon-shaped face. I had Cushings, but I got the tumor on my pituitary gland removed, and it definately helped.

It really does sound like symptoms of diabetes, type I. Frequent thirst, and weight loss are big indicators. Does your urine have a sweet smell, are you tired, do you often have dry skin?

I'd get it checked out with your doctor. If you have a diabetic friend, see if you can get your blood sugar checked- anything between 70-99 is normal, a bit higher though after you've eaten, so try before a meal.

But if this is an often occurrence, I'd definately see your doctor, just to see if it IS a problem. Drinking a lot is good to keep you hydrated, but you don't want to overwork your kidneys and heart.

Of course you're not overwheight. Drinking water helps you burn wheight, especially when it's cold (your body has to burn calories to heat it up). A good method on figuring out how much water you need is multiplying your body-wheight by .66 and then dividing by 8. This is how many 8oz glasses of water you need daily, more or less, but a great estimate. Also, don't drink liquids with your meals. It ruins your digestion.

But, not drinking liquids with meals is next to impossible. How many people actually eat anything without having something to drink??

And edit: there is NO way I could drink 20.6 8oz glasses of water a day, I'd vomit, but...its a good thought, if I could.

Maybe your glasses are very small

[beachguy in thongs]

Do you want to go out for a beer? I know this perfect place. I've known tons of lesbians who frequent this bar/restaurant. They have live entertainment, too!

i'm the same way man, i drink at least 6-8 bottles of poland spring a day and countless bottles of gatorade and propel. i don't know why, i just always like to be drinking something.

but right now i'm sippin on a little different kind of liquid haha, just gettin' my night started.

[IThinkIamFeelingit]

I drink a half of gallon of pomegranite juice a day
