My housemate came home, complaining that she's constantly thirsty, and has been for about four days now.
Thinking to suggest she get a blood test for diabetes, I ask her how much water she's drinking.
"Oh, I don't drinkwater, I don't like it. It has no flavor."
I think I suddenly see what the problem is here.
Wow.....just wow. She must be the most insane, most sadistic, most ignorant, most stupidest person in the world based on your gatherings you have presented here

Tell her to add sugar.
That's a lot of DF.
It also didn't help that I was forcing my sleeping pattern back from sleep by day, haunt by night to normal haunt by day, sleep by night. So lack of sleep + coloured smileys moving about = hilarity. Must try again.

Add a slice of lemon.
Or cucumber. Seriously, cucumber water is nice. I dislike drinking water unless it is very, very cold. For some reason, warm water makes me gag. However, recognizing that this is ridiculous, I force myself to drink it anyway and augment it with lemon, cucumber, lots of ice, and iced tea/sugar free lemonade.
I'm completely addicted to water. I know that sounds ridiculous. I drink well over a gallon a day, more when it's hot, and if I don't have a sip of water at least every few minutes, I start to feel pretty gross.

I'm somewhat the same way. However, if I wanted flavor in my water, I would drink something other than water. I hate how restaurants automatically put lemon in my water.
I have suggested some of these previously - She refused them all. The nearest thing she'll drink to water is Cordial, and only if it's really strong - Her tastebuds are pretty shot from smoking enormous amounts since she was about 16 or 17.

Cucumber? Why would I want to put a water flavored vegetable in my water?
And is it warm water you dislike, or just nasty tap water? I understand disliking nasty tap water, yuck. I swear my brita filter is magic, I don't know how it gets all that stuff out of the water.

Are you thristy all the time? Cause that's a sign of the betes, you might wanna have that checked out just to be safe. Actually try to measure how much water you drink in a day, because if it's actually a gallon something could be very wrong with you.

o.O That is a lot of bathroom breaks.
Not really. If you weren't already drinking this amount in a day and all of a sudden started then yes, you would have to go very often. But eventually your body starts to use the water you put in more economically, provided you're getting daily exercise. It's rather healthy.

You say that with a far bigger bladder (men's bladders are bigger than women's). If I drank over a gallon of water a day, I would never leave the bathroom regardless of activity.

I'm pretty sure that both men and women's bladders are the same size and have the same capacity, but because of the uterus, women's bladders have less room to expand, and thus feel pressure sooner.
Actually, I'm reading some stuff on Google right now that says that males having a significantly larger bladder size may be a myth. I can't find a reputable source to back up either claim, though.

I'll have to look into this.
[Edit]That's pretty much what I've been reading.
