too much water

7:48 PM Steph



i've been drinking a lot of water lately... and i mean a LOT.  MASSIVE, HUGE, APLENTY.   i've been doing this because my lips are somewhat always parched, so i thought i'm dehydrated.  the recommended amount of water that needs to be consumed is 8 glasses per day.  so my water-drinking schedule goes like this:

upon waking up:  1 glass
at the office (including lunch):  5 to 6 glasses
dinner: 2 glasses  
before sleeping: 1 glass

i use these huge glasses at the office whenever i drink water.  it's just today, when  i bought some orange juice for lunch that i realized that the capacity of those glasses is 333 mL each!  i read from somewhere that a standard glass only holds 200 mL of fluid... so 8 glasses should only amount to 1.6 L...  in other words, the amount of water i've been chugging at the office is more than enough for my daily needs.  so that's why i'm getting these  whole-day, whole-week headaches which is getting worser and worser each day since i started this water-drinking habit, i'm probably suffering from water intoxication right now, which is quite deadly. my brain might be swollen right now hence the headaches.

good thing i bought that orange juice today.  otherwise you'll probably read in the news a few days from now  this freakish headline:  

lady geologist, dead from water intoxication
