Ever feel like your fingers are sausages about to burst? Or that your wedding ring is trying to strangle your finger? That’s water retention, my friend. When you drink too much, your kidneys can’t keep up, so the water starts pooling in your cells, making you look like a temporarily plumped-up marshmallow.
You might even feel a weird sloshing sensation in your belly after a big chug. If your stomach makes sounds like a washing machine on a spin cycle, it’s a sign. You’re not “full of life”—you’re full of water. Put the bottle down before you float away.
