> Thanks,WinNo, I'm not an expert, far from it, but my theory is that when we drink alot of water when we're on meds, like serzone for instance (me) it could mean the liver and kidneys need help with all the chemicals entering the body. Why else would it cry out for a friggin gallon of water a day, I can't believe this for the life of me. I've never felt so "polluted". I WISH I could have that glass of wine I so desperately want, but I know that I'll feel like shit in the morning, from one lousy glass. So I think they're telling you, "hey, this med is gonna make your liver work overtime, so you shouldn't add alcohol and make it work even harder." Just my theory. D.
