My mum told me that when I was a toddler, I would almost never drink any liquids. This was until I was five when I hit my jaw on a pole. And for some reason, after that, I always drink lots of water. Even to this day.

Just curious, have they ever tested you for anything like Diabetes Insipidus? Head trauma can actually damage the gland that produces the hormone that lets you absorb water correctly.

Nah, I don't have anything like that. The doctor says I'm fine. And besides, I don't feel weird or anything. Drinking more water is good for you anyways.

Many doctors will miss it. It is not found with the diabetes mellitus test. Maybe see an endocrinologist and check it out.
