Aquaholic?
Things have been pretty nutty. Getting ready to teach another summer course soon, but details are scant at the moment. Just been bumming around, tying up loose ends. Things on my mind. Like, I wonder if I'm addicted to water. Read an article the other day about "aquaholics", people who can't get enough of the H2O. Well, I love water. Can't be without it. I have a 770 millileter bottle I bought in Hong Kong and it is such a Godsend. The bottles of water sold in Thailand are either 600 something mls or much larger. Seven hundred mls is just big enough to give me my water fix, without being too heavy to tote around in my backpack. I love water. As of now, I have refilled my aforementioned bottle twice in the space of an hour. I can't eat a meal without a glass of water close at hand. A guy once told me I would probably die of water intoxication. I thought he was exaggerating until I read about that woman who died during a radio water-drinking contest. But she didn't go to the bathroom. I go. I keep my system clean and clear. At any rate, I don't think I could quit if I wanted to. I love my aqua, gotta have my H20 fix at all times. So, maybe I am an aquaholic.
Final thought: Pass the water.

That is awesome you drink that much water. I like being hydrated but sometimes I'm just too lazy to get up and get some. Like the new background, too! I was just thinking about Simon the other day!

I'm an aquaholic too!
I drink about 72 ounces a day, sometimes more. It's about how fast you drink it versus how much you drink. It's also about replacing the electrolytes. Just make sure you pay attention to the symptoms of intoxification, nausea, vomiting, headache and more. If you look up water intoxification in wikipedia, it will tell you more.

Sorry for so much information, just want you to know what the symptoms are just in case you drink too much too fast. I read somewhere that you shouldn't drink more than 16 ounces in an hour if you aren't eating anything with it.
I agree, Pass the water! I need more! :)
