So I am 54 days sober today and I have been drinking nothing but water this past week. I drink bottle after bottle, and before all this I would drink soda or fake juice. Could my body be so dehydrated that I am drinking 4 to 5 liters of water a day? Is something wrong with me?

None of us can know that Ach :)
If you're concerned, maybe see a Dr?

'grats on the 54 days :)

As dee said you should speak to your doc if it concerns you.
It is possible to upset some of the balance in your body by drinking too much water.

I like to drink around 1.5l and around 5 cups of herbal tea a day.
Most my diet is made up of raw veg/fruit juice but I don't count that as fluid.

Hey congrats on 54 days, I am 54 days as well...A Happy dance for both of us.

I would see your doc as well, I was pre diabetic, had no idea, only symptom was I was really thirsty.
I am not saying that that is what is causing you to be thirsty just worth a check up.

I drink around 6/7 liters of water a day but I ain't concerned....In my drinking days it would be 11/12 liters of beer a day....I know which is the best option now lol.
