I have experienced minor hyponatraemia myself. Let me tell you, it's not fun. I can't believe he didn't experience the effects of this all the time. It feels extremely disorienting (like the worse feeling you could imagine) and in my case I vomited anything I put in my mount.

European friends have always thought I was weird for drinking water. Maybe they are onto something.

Is there a medical name for this? Some kind of pica perhaps?

My wife works with nuts and tards like that, and she says there's one guy like that, if you don't watch him he'll just stand at the sink drinking water until he collapses or blows up or something.

And you snatch your rattling last breaths
with wharrgarbling hosepipe sounds,
and the flowers bloom like
madness in the spring.

How you gonna treat that cotton mouth? Or water your precious plant? Ah ha!

CrazyCurt		2008-10-30 09:08:54 AM

Holy crap! When I was in the loony bin ( yeah I've been, I got disorders myself ) I saw an old lady that had this. She would drink water incessantly and all the inmates and staff had to watch her to make sure she didn't go to the drinlking fountain. Seriously. She would get drunk from water. It was freaky, disturbing and annoying. You had to literally pull her off the drinking fountain. Weird as heck.

berylman		2008-10-30 09:11:43 AM

If this was a legitimate condition of never ending excessive thirst it is kind of interesting. Perhaps a tumor of whatever portion of the brain that regulates thirst? Faulty negative feedback from the stomach and kidneys?

Post Apocalyptic Vendor: Water! Cool... clear water!

(Max Max walks up)

Post Apocalyptic Vendor: Step right up son, let's get some dealin' done! H20... That's my go!

(Max Max shakes his head)

Post Apocalyptic Vendor: Don't you understand? This is water! You can't live without it!

(Max Max runs a geiger counter over the container... the counter goes wild)

Post Apocalyptic Vendor: What's a little fallout? Have a nice day!

If you think this is interesting... You should see those fat farks that never stop being hungry.

Dammit, now I have to pee.

If only there were an alternative drink, one with proper electrolytic content to discourage soodium impabalance, even one that might encourage eatingof electrolyte foodstuffs, like salty pretzels or peanuts. Said drink might also reward the drinker with a mild euphoric effect, and a self regulating anaesthetic effect which would render the overindulger in a harmless stuporific sleep.

Onkel Buck		2008-10-30 09:20:46 AM

I would ahve killed myself too if I was an Aqua-holic

You know, and this is pure conjecture on my part, but I think they're working on that right now. I sure hope they come up with this so that this tragic event doesn't happen again.
