[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah I don't get it. Perhaps I am better than other women, because I am capable of going multiple hours without drinking water. I can count the times I've bought a disposable plastic water bottle in the last year on one hand. I have water with meals, and it's plenty.

I see women in meetings suuuuucking on their water bottles, backwashing into their water bottles, chugging water like they're on a cocaine bender and I just. don't. get it. Are you all diabetics??

Oh it's not a huge environmental flex to own a dozen heavy, manufactured, non-recyclable status-bottles that had to be shipped on a diesel freighter from the other side of the world, of which you have a "favorite" while the others all sit around unused. If you owned ONE water bottle you'd [i]maybe[/i] have an argument. But be honest, water-addicts: How many stanleys, yetis, hydroflasks, and owalas have you had shipped to you from China?

I went through all 5 pages of posts and it was difficult to figure out which was the most ridiculous to respond to. I am a huge water drinker and I feel terrible on days I skip. I love water and you’ll pry my bottle from my cold dead hands.  But like all things DCUM this is a competition, I guess. You win! You are better than me. But you are bothered by something that does not affect you in the least. So in reality, you are the big time loser. [/quote]
Wow. I didn’t realize guzzling water could be addictive! Guess you really can be addicted to anything. [/quote]

Why do you eat everyday? Are you addicted to food?[/quote]

You know perfectly well that many people are addicted to food. That's what it means when people eat things that they know are bad for them, or eat past the point of satiation, and even into discomfort.

And of course people can be addicted to drinking water. Sometimes to their detriment. [/quote]

What’s the detriment?[/quote]

Seriously? I can't tell if you're being stupidly argumentative, or if you've really never heard of hyponatremia. Seizure, coma, death. [/quote]

And this is happening really often due to water addictions? [/quote]

:roll:

I googled it for you.

Prevalence: 
General population: Approximately 1-2% of adults
Hospitalized patients: Up to 35%
Elderly patients: Up to 50%
Women: Slightly more common than men

It's actually extremely rare, mostly associated with severe psychiatric disorders, and more prevalent in men. So... wrong on all counts.
