你一定听过“每天八杯水”的说法。但为了“排毒”一杯接一杯狂喝水，反而嗜水成癖，危害健康。

Aquaholics are people who have become addicted to drinking water over the past few years. They've been lured by the promises of better skin, a detoxed body and more energy, but soon feel they can't manage without regular sips of water — and feel panicky if they have to go without for even short lengths of time.

“嗜水狂”（aquaholics）指近年出现的对喝水上瘾的人。他们为了拥有更好的皮肤、为身体排毒、让自己精力充沛而狂喝水，但很快发现自己已经离不开水了——哪怕只是很短的时间里没有水喝，都会让他们抓狂不已。

Drinking large amounts of water, particularly at the end of the day, can disrupt sleep, experts suggest. Over-hydration is linked to many of the extreme sweating problems, too. Drinking too much water too quickly can even lead to water intoxication.

专家表示，饮用大量水会扰乱睡眠，尤其在晚间。过量饮水（over-hydration）还会导致各种多汗相关的疾病。短时间内大量喝水甚至会引起水中毒（water intoxication）。

According to NHS advice, most adult women need only around 1.6 liters of fluids in general (rather than water, specifically) a day, and men around two liters, to keep the body working efficiently. All drinks can count towards this target — including hot drinks such as tea and coffee, milk and fruit juices and even the water contained in foods such as fruits and vegetables.

根据英国国民保健署建议，多数成年女性一天通常只需要1.6升液体（不一定是水）即可维持身体有效运转，男性则需要大约2升。所有饮料都可计算在内——包括茶、咖啡、牛奶、果汁等热饮，甚至也包括蔬果等食物中所含的水。
