What would your system be lacking if you suddenly start craving water and only wanting to drink that even though you hate it and never usually drink it? :confused:

Just a guess, but how about water???????

You're probably dehydrated, unless you're drinking from the sea then water really doesn't contain anything else aside from the obvious water :smile:

Could possibly be your body telling you to drink less alcohol too.

Mmm, but that's not why alcohol dehydrates you, otherwise all drinks would dehydrate you, and that would just be silly, now wouldn't it? :rolleyes:

The 'lots of piss' is because alcohol is a dia-wotsit and makes you piss out more than you drink. Any beer drinker knows it's one pint in, two pints out.... :biggrin:

you're never gonna hear the end of this you know... :biggrin:

Nyer!

oh dear...

OP

No i dont mean just being thirsty but i mean water specifically. I could easily just drink anything else but suddenly, all i want to drink is water. Just water. Nothing else. I know that if you start craving milk you are lacking calcium. so why water?

most of the body's functions require water. you crave milk when you need calcium because milk contains calcium. so you crave water when you need water because water contains water.

i don't know any simpler way to put it.
