i drink atleast 6 litres of water a day- should i be worried? . i'm 25 female. for the last 8 years i've been drinking abnormal amounts of water daily- about 6 liters a day. i do so only when i'm thirsty which is often and end up drinking almost an liter each time. i urinate frequently about 2 hours of my water intake. my parents r worries but i can't help it. its almost like i become crazy if i don't drink cold water. it has to be ice cold or my thirst is not quenched. i also have high blood pressure for the last 2 yrs but am not on regular medication.
