My experience has been that many women in our society spend their life
resisting the normal signals their body gives for hunger and thirst in an
attempt to not gain weight.  As a result, they do not always recognize
their own bodies signals for thirst, and do feel as if they are "drowning"
if they drink an appropriate ammount.
