I know what you’re thinking, we’re all pretty much addicted to water, but we don’t feel like drinking it every moment of every day, and we certainly don’t consume over six gallons of it, daily. But Sasha Kennedy does, and that definitely makes her a water addict.
Drinking plenty of water is generally regarded as healthy advice, but they say too much of a good think can sometimes be bad for you, and 26-year-old Sasha Kennedy, from Essex, England, is certainly overdoing it. The young mother of two says she drinks about 25 liters of water a day, and can hardly go one hour without water, even at night. Because of her strange addiction, Sasha is forced to carry bottles of water with her, everywhere she goes, and has to use the bathroom up to 40 times a day.
Kennedy’s unquenchable thirst began when she was around two years old. She kept asking her parents for more water, which made them take her to a doctor. After examining her, physicians determined there was nothing wrong, but by age six, her mother had to leave a pint of water by Sasha’s bedside, during the night. She began taking bottles of water with her at school, and while all the other kids were playing during breaks, she would spend most of her time close to the water fountain. By the time she turned 13, she was already drinking around 15 liters of water per day, and the nighttime jug was replaced with a 5-liter plastic container.
At 16, Sasha left school and started working in a shoe stop stockroom, where her colleagues decided to move the water cooler next to her desk, after noticing how much water she drank. In her early 20s she reached 20 liters of water a day, but her addiction peaked when she started working from home, for a telecoms company, in 2007. She now consumes between 18 and 25 liters of water every day, which probably makes her the most hydrated person on the planet.
“If I feel my mouth start to get dry I have to get my next fix of water – it’s all I can focus on. People never really think anyone can drink that much until they get to know me – then they just cannot believe their eyes,” Sasha told the Daily Mail. “I feel thirsty pretty much all the time and always have to be sipping water – it’s an addictive habit.” The water addict says the most sleep she has ever had was about an hour and 15 minutes, before getting up to either have a drink or go to the bathroom.
With the average adult drinking around 200ml of water a day, you can say Sasha Kennedy’s case is pretty rare. Although she feels ok physically, experts say this overhydration can lead to all kinds of problems, and can even be fatal, in rare cases. Our body’s cells start swelling up with the excess water, and while most of them can cope with the swelling, those in the brain get pushed against the skull.

Curious. I wonder if she’s been tested for diabetes insipidus.
So why is she so fat? She’s consuming 55 pounds of fluids, that must mess up her hunger signals. She must be eating a lot of salty foods in between water.
Apparently she has plenty of food with that water.
Thank you George and John…I was going to ask the same question. Why is she so fat is she is drinking so much water?
Did that make anyone else thirsty?
firstly the average adult drinks 200ml of water a day, bullshit thats like one average cup. and yeah iv heard of people drowning their brains from consuming far less than that
what a hog! there is only so much fresh water. get this lady to an addiction meeting before we run out of fresh water
WOW. The comments here seem hurtful and pointless. No one is perfect. When I was pregnant with my daughter I was thirsty all the time as well. I drank 8 glasses of water a day and ate a healthy diet. In the end the reason I was so hungry is because I was retaining fluid and had congestive heart failure. Just because no one has figured out why she does it does not mean there is not a cause for her thirst. She is overweight but who are you to judge and assume you know why she is the way she is.
STEPAHANIE WHAT DID THEY DO FOR YOUR HEART FAILURE ??sorry
Some extremely hurtful comments. Obviously she has a unidentified medical condition. She surely is retaining water. Why does everyone comment on her weight? Why is that all any of you care about?
You should try being accepting of people no matter their outside appearance…it feels good not to hate
Normally when you drink enough water , it helps to increase the motbolism ; the body have more fire power to burn more calories or body fat … In this order one lose weight or body fat easily . however , in her case it could be a medical case that is not solved yet !.
Wow! She looks so hot! She must be rich to overspend on water bottles like that.
Over drinking water leads to water poisoning, roughly 70% of the human body is water to begin with. An above average of that can poison or even kill a person. Water molecules contain oxygen and two hydrogen atoms. The human body needs roughly 40% water to stay cool, hydrated and an equivalent supply to oxygenate blood circulation. Overdosing on water creates a negative effect on the body, the circulatory system can easily be over oxygenated the equivalent of a drowning effect. But before you can get rid of the excess of it, it becomes too late the body can’t handle the atomic mass and thus it turns to poison. A bit of chemistry and a bit of biology rolled into one.
aaaahhhh ! my doctor told me if i want to lost weight i must drink 4, 5 big cup water per day …. soo if she drinks 1027365733 x cups and looks like big frige so from 2morrow no more water!!!!
