So I drink 8 glasses of water a day (which is the recommended amount) and my mum seems to think I'm diabetic and that I go to the bathroom too much... She never drinks water, drinks wine everyday of her life, and seems to think that I'm diabetic just because I drink 8 glasses of water a day...I got into this habit when I was a teen to combat acne and just never stopped. So, do I drink too much water?
As long as you don't chug as much water as you possibly can as fast as you can, there's no problem with it. I bet your liver and kidneys love the shit out of you. I can't stop drinking pop, sometimes i can feel the effects of on my kidneys until i force myself to drink water.
It's supposed to be 8 glasses of fluid a day, not necessarily water. But the more water you drink the better!
I don't think it is untoward, I drink at least that. I adore a fresh glass of ice water, lots of crushed ice. Occasionally I will squeeze a lemon wedge into my water, or a lime wedge. When I was growing up, we didn't do soda, it was milk with meals and water any other time. We did get coffee or tea occasionally, but I just really like iced water, as cold as I can get it. I will drink wine, or an occasional mixed drink but being diabetic I tend to not drink alcohol because of the carb burden my liver would have to deal with.
haha I remember when I first started drinking water all day every day... I was pissing like 6 times a day. you'll get used to it and your bladder will be back to normal. Doesn't it make you feel soo fucking good when you stay hydrated lol it was life changing for me
Haha my mom thought the same thing about me. You're probably fine dude if you're otherwise healthy. Generally you'd know you had diabetes by age 15. Type II diabetes tends to happen to obese people. Next time you get any bloodwork done have them check your glucose if you're worried about it.
yeah don't be worried about being Diabetic : ) Drinking that much water is good for you! Although I was diagnosed at 18, type 1 is a lot more common at a younger age, except type 2 diabetes. {You're not diabetic, trust me. i'm high} Weight loss, appetite loss (even with the weed), lethargy/fatigue, frequent bathroom breaks. If you're worried about it just ask one of your diabetic friends (bet you have at least 1!) just test your sugar there, and if it's too high go to the doctor! I gotta stop typing..
I've just gone from drinking no water - pretty much at all.... To a habit of 2-4 bottles a day.... It's a good start I think. I do have to pee more though....
Drinking water is great! I used to drink close to 4 bottles of soda a day, one day decided to stop... Now I drink like 3 bottles of water a day with the occasional snaffle here and there
Drink tea, it's a fantastic alternative. Water does get boring, for me at least. Your mom is dehydrated. Most people are dehydrated, and most of their problems stem from that. I don't really care if they drink it though, just don't complain about your condition when it can be cured EASILY. Plus, more water for me. As for your diabetes, just ask your doc during your next physical.
Man, i drink about 3 liters to a gallon a day. I have a liter bottle i refill and i just drink away. I have some crystal clear piss i tell you what.
The cycle of my life. Drink mostly protein shakes, milk and coffee for days on end, then feel like shit because im so dehydrated, then for the next couple days i drink a lot of water and piss all the time, then i slowly stop drinking it again, and drift back into drinking basically just protein shakes, coffee, and milk, until it negatively effects me. Sounds stupid, i know but i can't keep the habit of always drinking water, probably because i rarely have it on hand.
Your telling me its harder for you to find water than it is to milk and protien shakes? Haha, bad excuse brothaa
the only thing i really drink apart from water is coffee, and sometimes just like a dr pepper or something when im out and dont want to be ripped off buying bottled water
watery i guess. doesn't really taste any different that tap water, which isnt bad, but youre basically just paying for the bottle.
here is the cool thing about water the more purified water you drink, the more you piss, thus cleansing your body and replacing it with cleaner water, thus purifying your body. Not tap water, the best water you can find.
Yup. Most municipal water facilities are jokes. Fortunately for me, Seattle is pretty good with the whole water thing. I don't have a purifier. I should probably get on that...
