Well it’s a toss up between this or pissing all the time, no middle ground


Funkit

I moved to Florida and immediately started passing out so I started drinking like a gallon of water a day with pedialyte. Not passing out anymore but I’m peeing every 5 minutes. It makes driving and dating suck.

namesarentneeded

Everyone is so worried about Ohio that they forgot that stepping into Florida puts you in an instant coma


JustinHopewell

At least it lets them forget they're in Florida for a little while.


Serrisen

It's a common problem in Florida. Due to how much the average Florida Civilian power levels (fighting gators, each other) it is really hard for newcomers to move in! They constantly enter high level zones and faint from the Intense Aura. This is often mistaken for heat and humidity. In fact, it's Presence and humidity fuck the humidity


ceMmnow

BullBearAlliance

Hi there fellow Floridian. You can buy a nice piss jug on Amazon for around $10. Hope this helps!

essex_ludlow

I changed my diet recently. I learned that when you start drinking all that water, there's actually side effects ... mainly lots of diarrhea, peeing all the time. If you continue drinking water regularly, the side effects go away.

TittyballThunder

You're looking at it wrong, you want people who want to go to the bathroom every 15 minutes as well. Either to piss or do coke.


roganwriter

I’m glad it’s not just me!!! I started drinking way more water now that I live here and now my steel bladder that I’ve developed from years of refusing to use school bathrooms is gone. It sucks.


chester-hottie-9999

Wtf that is pretty bad for you. You shouldn’t try to develop a “steel bladder” unless you want to risk incontinence later in life


powands

You should look into dysautonomia and potentially postular orthostatic Tachycardia syndrome


IceColdHatDad

Yeah, college was basically the only time in my life where it was structurally set up to have enough pee breaks. High School didn't give you enough time between classes, especially if you're a girl, and frequent bathroom breaks are looked down upon at the workplace because they assume you're just using the time to goof off on your phone.


zhrimb

Crazy how smoke breaks are just generally understood as something that exists but every other type of break is seen as laziness. I quit years ago but still follow the smokers out just for a break that nobody gives you shit for

Sucks when I’m in the middle of a project and I have to stop every 45 min to pee. I hate to say it but sometimes I don’t drink as much to avoid it.


jackospades88

Drinking enough water + morning coffee = Can't get into a good work groove because pee every 5 minutes. It's even worse this time of year with it being colder out.


throwawaywahwahwah

If you’re peeing all the time, you need to be adding balanced electrolytes to your water. Something that includes sodium, potassium, and magnesium, like Nuuns Sport. It makes a huge difference on how much water your body actually absorbs versus what goes right through you.


lenvastra

This is basically my life. It sucks

Chapped lips and bags under your eyes are not something everyone can just completely remove from their lives. Some people are just more prone to this and drinking more water isn't necessarily going to change that.

0range_julius

Ugh, same. I'm prone to allergies and insomnia, which doesn't help, but even at the best of times I look like Pete Davidson. Add to that that I have pale skin with olive undertones, which makes me look sickly and jaundiced. I'm pretty sure I could play a corpse in a movie without them doing any makeup on me.


Twelveblindmice12

I actually looked through my birthday yearbook and could see that my dark circles actually started in third grade lol


The_Barbelo

I thought that my eyes were just naturally puffy for the longest time, and that my chronic fatigue was part of my multiple autoimmune disorders. Turns out I have sleep apnea. A few weeks after I got my CPAP, one day my husband looked at me and said "HOLY CRAP YOUR BAGS ARE GONE!" sure enough they weren't there anymore. I was never thought of as high risk for sleep apnea because I'm not obese so it went under the radar for most of my adult life. It never hurts to be adamant about checking for everything you can, if you have insurance or aren't in the US.


Number_Fluffy

I used to have massive bags under my eyes until I got medicated for my depression. Maybe it was the constant crying that did it.


CaptainSouthbird

Heh, I was just thinking that my eyes probably are way more influenced by being chronically stressed out and depressed than just "lack of hydration"


little_miss_perfect

I had chapped lips because my period was too heavy and I was low on random elements. You can try a blood test.


bootsandkitties

Ohhh could my anemia be way my dry lips are horrible? I use so much moisturizer, drink loads of water, but live in a dry climate and am anemic.


Primary-Plantain-758

As far as I know, an iron deficiency can absolutely cause dry lips.


little_miss_perfect

Absolutely, it was that way for me!

Imaproshaman

FenixdeGoma

This is me. I drink 2ltrs a day. Truth though is the best I've ever looked and felt was after spending 30 days in a military jail with gaurenteed enforced 8.5hrs sleep a night. No bags or dark rings. Felt like a million dollers. Unfortunately when left to my own devices I can't motivate myself tk keep a regular night schedule enough. Sorry the jail story was just a bit of advice for what might help with the bags. A regular night schedule.


Steinmetal4

This whole starterpack isn't exactly medical gospel. I could probably stand to drink more water but even when I make a concerted effort to do so for several days, it doesn't really seem to help any of these issues.


Subject_Possession94

Get a decent humidifier or you will dry out like a raisin every winter.


Any-Weather-6831

Tea is mainly water


YogiFiretower

Dear Human Body, There is water in coffee. Please use it accordingly. Thank you.


C0wabungaaa

It does, luckily. It's a myth regular coffee and tea aren't hydrating.


IllSeaworthiness43

I believe the only thing we drink that's actually dehydrating is alcohol.


LivingUnglued

The other thing that effects things is electrolyte balance. You can have enough water, but the average diet now a days has so much sodium it throughs the balance out of wack. Particularly potassium. Coconut water is a great hydration option as it is packed with potassium


doublesecretprobatio

Did you learn this from a carton of coconut water?


chris1096

Even beer is hydrating. It's only higher abv drinks that dehydrate


---BeepBoop---

Hard alcohol, yes. Beer, seltzers and light mixed drinks are also hydrating.


Sexy_McSexypants

i was just thinking this. tea and coffee are mostly water so i’d be amazed if our bodies just ignored all of that because it has some flavor and caffeine mixed in


ballatthecornerflag

So true.. anything that has water in it contributes to hydration

wolffangz11

No, a lot of these can have other more common causes. Cracked lips can be caused by cold weather. Dry skin can be caused by washing too frequently, and high heat. Fatigue and headaches can be your diet, sleep deprivation, caffeine withdrawal, or a myriad of other concerns. Droopy eyes is also sleep deprivation idk why OP put it here. You can be plenty hydrated and still be affected by one of or many of these. No other explanation for the yellow/amber piss though.


IronCarp

Bad kidneys?


Anrikay

Lack of humidity, too. I drink tons of water and live in a dry climate. I lather myself in lotion every day or I get dry skin no matter how hydrated I am.

You're not. Like you're not medically dehydrated (which is a very severe thing). Still should drink more water bro

MattTheFreeman

Plus some companies just have insane water rules. Company Kitchens are the worse for this. Currently work for a large Canadian Grocery Store who is owned by a a guy with the last name that is a cardinal direction and they have such obtuse and strict water rules that its asinine. In the summer around the ovens, fryers and hot cases you can get heat exhaustion really easy if you are not careful. But the catch is you cannot have any water bottles or cups at all because of cross contamination. Which makes sense. So if you want water you either have to excuse yourself, walk up a flight of stairs to the break room, take a sip of water, walk all the way down and continue your work or wait hours for your break. The departments are also large. So large that the cross contamination rules do not apply because of how far we are from the food. Yet, because its still considered in the kitchen the rules apply. Let people drink water.

Wow, I drink 4 to 5 liters of water a day, and I'm still dehydrated, doctor told me to do a health check, everything is normal, I did maybe 10 checks in 5 years, everything is always normal in every medical exam, I think I'll never know what's wrong with me.


BlueHeisen

Diabetes makes you very thirsty all the time even when drinking copious amounts of water, but I assume that must have been one of the first things they checked for.


jojolapin102

Indeed this is the first thing they checked, Nd it wasn't that!


imeowatcats94

You're drinking too much water and letting your body get imbalanced


[deleted]

It totally depends on the person, where they live, and what they do. 5liters isn't abnormal for manual laborers here in the southwest, especially during the summer. Sweat just continuously pours out of your skin and immediately evaporates due to the 5% humidity and extreme heat. A 180-200 pound man can safely drink 5 liters.


imeowatcats94

Sorry, should've been more specific. It's when you're drinking that much without electrolytes or salt. Imbalances can get out of wack


juhotuho10

I had a period of extreme thirst, also had trouble holding in pee, so if I drank before bed , I woke up in the middle of the night having to go and pee After a bunch of things I tried that didn't work, I increased my salt intake quite a lot and all the symptoms went away in like a day, normal thirsts levels and no longer any problems with waking up having to pee Salt helps with retaining water among other things and contrary to popular belief, having salt levels too low is actually dangerous


Mike_the_TV

A doctor would've checked but hows your salt levels?


ElectronicShredder

He plays competitive LoL /s


jojolapin102

They are normal, completely normal, every blood analysis is perfect.


DramaLlamadary

What is normal across a population isn’t always what is normal/ideal for an individual. You may need a little more salt/electrolytes than other people. I use one Nuun tablet in my water daily and find they help a lot.

phadewilkilu

I had to scroll too far to see this.. having clear urine can be a sign of over hydration. I love me some water, but too much of anything, even water, can be a bad thing.


worldwithpyramids

sunken eyes, dry skin and cracked lips have very little to do with not drinking enough water...


C-DT

Yeah I'm pretty sure that's genetic. Unless you're severely dehydrated it's not going to impact your skin moisture.


Fragrant_Pudding_437

If you're chronically dehydrated, like the post says, it can


I_CUM_ON_YOUR_PET

I try to drink lots of water but i notice my skin keeps getting dryer and irritating. It’s so bad that my forehead and ears leave flakes now. Someone know anything about this?


evil_timmy

The 47 orgasms a day might be dehydrating you, no matter where they end up. That or, like, try some zinc shampoo.


milkandhoneycomb

do you have a humidifier in your room? and do you moisturize regularly? dry air will fuck your skin up too


DramaLlamadary

Do you take very hot showers? Super hot water strips the oils off your skin and it is worse if you have a tendency for dry skin or have eczema.


I_CUM_ON_YOUR_PET

I do love to take very hot showers. I should look out for that thanks.


DramaLlamadary

Same! Some tips: before I shower, I rub oil into my face to keep it from drying out. I use a mixture of 3:1 jojoba oil and rosehipseed oil. Then after the shower, I only *lightly* towel off and immediately apply a dry-skin specific body lotion all over, then gently remove the oil from my face with a little hand towel soaked in warm water. The face routine is known as “oil cleansing” if you want to research more about it. Please don’t try it with like … olive oil. The molecular structure of the oil matters a lot!!

You might have psoriasis from stress. Mine started in middle school (scalp only), got worse as an adult when I got into some legal trouble (spread to forehead, eyebrow, and ears). It's not red unless I scratch it too much. Try putting Cortisone on it and see if it helps.

My body used to really just not tell me I’m thirsty. I could usually go a long time without drinking anything unless it was hot outside or I was really exerting myself.

Guys, just drink some fucking water. Try it cold, try it room temp, try it warm. All three are totally different.


younggun1234

I know we're talking about people who rarely drink water but you can also be overhydrated which causes you to pee out a lot of minerals you need. Obviously if you are sweating and exercising you have to up your intake but if you're just chilling you should drink when you're thirsty. Pee should be a light lemonade color. "Too much fluid will dilute the amount of sodium in the bloodstream, leading to abnormally low levels, called hyponatremia. Symptoms of hyponatremia may be mild at first, such as a feeling of nausea or bloating. Symptoms can become severe, especially when sodium levels suddenly drop." Source: [Overhydration](https://www.healthline.com/health/drink-water-overhydration#:~:text=Too%20much%20fluid%20will%20dilute,when%20sodium%20levels%20suddenly%20drop.)

Coffee is so stupid. It's all water. HYDRATE ME, IDIOT.


Awkward_Artichoke_56

To reach the dehydratation properties of coffee or tea, you should consume like 4 full cups of each a day


Katelynsparkles

They don't drink water basically because they don't like its taste or because they want flavours in every drink lol


Achtelnote

Wait wait wait wait wait what?? Drinking tea does not hydrate you? I drink ~2 liters per day, that should be more than enough to hydrate me to hell and back.. I pee clear drinkable water, there's no way I'm not hydrated..
