COMPULSIVE WATER DRINKING


Few weeks back I traveled by a non stop train(except for technical halts) called Durant express to New Delhi.Food and water was included in the ticket.One of my co passenger went on drinking water supplied by the railway catering service much to my amusement.He was surprised to see me not even opening my two mineral bottles.Lastly he asked me "sir, you are not at all drinking any water,you will fall sick!!"
-" i do not need water in this AC compartment"
"WHY"
"Simple- am not sweating".
"But you took your lunch with out water"
"yes, you are right, i do not drink unless i feel thirsty."
"but you must drink to clear the system".
"that's wrong concept"
"Drinking water frequently shows the person's insecurity, to put it straight>psychic personality"
"specially with old age with prostate problem one should take less water,too much water means more work for the kidneys, water does not clean the system, that a wrong concept by the common men."

On January 12, 2007, a 28-year old Californian wife and mother of three children died from drinking too much water. Her body was found in her home shortly after she took part in a water-drinking contest that was sponsored by a local radio show. Entitled "Hold Your Wee For A Wii," the contest promoters promised a free Wii video game machine to the contestant who drank the most water without urinating.
As your circulatory system becomes diluted with excess water, the concentration of electrolytes in your blood will drop relative to the concentration of electrolytes in your cells. In an effort to maintain an equal balance of electrolytes between your blood and your cells, water will seep into your cells from your blood, causing your cells to swell.

So gentleman consult a psychiatrist for your drinking habits.To be exact the obese man consumed ten bottles of mineral water during those 22hours journey.So much for water drinking.
