Too Much Water???

[mr.linky]

Ive been completely clean for about 5 months now and my body is acting a bit weird. Here's my stats....6'1" 187lbs very lean guy.......My Problem: I work construction and im always thirsty and i mean ALWAYS, but its not only at work its when i wake up in the middle of the night, when i get up in the morning, all day at work, and even when im off of work. I drink all water and usually a Mt. Dew here and there (usually 1 a day b4 i work out, just my thing). But it seems like my face holds water, not much but i can tell by just looking at it. Could it be that im drinking too much water? Or just taking in too many liquids and my body is used to it and now wants it all the time. Because i try to space it out to were i don't drink 8 or 9 bottles of water a day, down to just 4 or so! But i always have cotton mouth and a dry throat.

ANYBODY HAVE ANY IDEA? HELP ME OUT FELLAS AND GALS!!!

Throw a gatorade in there every so often. There is a thing as too much water.

put some salt on your tongue and eat lots of peanuts.

It's pretty hard to get too much water. You could be getting too much sodium, or you may need a blood sugar test to make sure you're not a diabetic.

Make sure you don't have diabetes or kidney problem.
You may be eating too much salt. That will make you thirsty and also make you look bloated.
If you are healthy, drinking too much water does not make you hold water. It is the other way round. It will make you less bloated.
If you do construction and sweat a lot, by drinking too much water, there is a small possibility of low sodium level.
You should see your doctor who can do a simple blood test to see if your electrolytes are normal.

Thanks everyone...My dad is a diabetic, but being this could it cause me to hold water and look bloated? Its really irratating since summer is here and once i eat or drink anything my stomach sticks out like im pregnant. LOL. I've never had this problem until the last year or so. In all seriousness, i really don't eat salt on anything and usually just eat ham or turkey through out the day and a coulpe MRP's and a shake or so (while im at work). I guess im going to have to go and see what the Doc has to say.
