  • I’m a diabetic and got into a habit of drinking a lot before I was diagnosed. Then I got put on a medication that works by shunting sugar into my urine, which increases my frequency of urination and therefore my thirst. I also have hyperhydrosis, which makes me sweat way more than normal, so I need to replace the liquids more than normal, and the medication I’m on for it has a side effect of further increasing how much I drink.

    All combined, I drink way more than normal people. A strange side effect is that, since I produce so much more urine than a normal person, my bladder has stretched to much larger than normal. Most people have a maximum capacity of 1000mL in their bladder, i have closer to 2000mL.
