| |
A 26-year old mother in Britain has revealed that she suffers from an addiction to drinking water that makes her to drink as much as six gallons and use the loo up to 40 times a day.
Sasha Kennedy, Southend-on-Sea, Essex, said that her problem started when she was just a toddler and by the time she was six years old, her mother used to place a large jug of water beside her bed at night, which had to be refilled after a few hours.
By the time she was 13 years old, Kennedy said that she was drinking up to three gallons a day and her addiction continued to worsen as she grew up. Kennedy added that she carries a large bottle of drinking water wherever she goes and has even quit jobs over lack of quality water.
"People never really think anyone can drink that much until they get to know me - then they just cannot believe their eyes. I feel thirsty pretty much all the time and always have to be sipping water - it's an addictive habit", she said.
