Can't Hold My Drink

As I've mentioned, I seem to have a somewhat unusual problem of not being able to hold my drink.  Water, that is.  Everyone I've come across who is healthy and drinks heaps of water says, don't worry, after a few days your system will adjust.

Apparently, I am not normal.  (Just ask my husband or any family member to confirm this.)

This was brougt home to me dramatically during an excellent presenation I was attending.  About 15 to 20 minutes into the talk, my body reminded me urgently of the litre of water I had consumed about an hour beforehand.  It was too small a venue to sneak out inconspicuously, so I held my peace (so to speak), and discreetly darted off to the nearest loo as soon as the speaker was finished.

My hopes for a quick trip followed by an unobtrusive departure were soon dashed.  I had been too discreet.  Everyone left VERY quickly, much more quickly than I'd anticipated.  I didn't get locked in, but it was a near thing!   Once I get over my sheepishness about it, I'm sure I'll be laughing.  But not after I've drunk a litre of water.
