These days, the public seems to have great interest in such topics as the year 2012, Pants on the Ground, and Domino’s new pizza recipe. But I’m not going to write about any of those things today. I want to discuss a much more exciting topic. Water.
It’s no secret that drinking an adequate amount of water is essential to good health. You could be dead in two or three days without water. So obviously, drinking plenty of water is a good idea. However, it is possible to have too much of a good thing.
One day during my less than brilliant teenage years, I decided to try drinking an entire gallon of water. My sole reason for doing so was just to see if I could do it. I succeeded, but that was one of the most miserable days of my life.
It felt as though there was water all the way up to my chest. I could barely move and my stomach was in extreme pain. After about 12 minutes or so, I needed to use the bathroom. 12 minutes later, I needed to use the bathroom. 12 minutes later, yes you guessed it, I needed to use the bathroom. This pretty much continued all night long.
I’m writing this blog because I bet at this very moment there is a teenage boy out there somewhere staring at a gallon of water and wondering if he can drink the whole thing. I just wanna say, DON’T DO IT.
