“Drinking plenty of water would usually be seen as a healthy habit – and many of us could probably do with upping our daily intake. But for one young mother it is an addiction which drives her to down a staggering 44 pints a day. Sasha Kennedy, 26, carries large bottles of water with her wherever she goes and rarely sleeps for more than an hour a night without waking for a drink. She is forced to go to the toilet up to 40 times every day and has even quit jobs over the lack of quality water in her workplaces, she says. Yesterday, Miss Kennedy, from Southend-on-Sea, Essex, revealed she consumes 5.5 gallons of water over 24 hours. Though her daily water intake far exceeds the maximum 3.5 pints recommended by experts, she says she has been checked by doctors and has no health problems as a result.” w/ photos
