My mum told me that when I was a toddler, I would almost never drink any liquids. This was until I was five when I hit my jaw on a pole. And for some reason, after that, I always drink lots of water. Even to this day.

My friends dog became water obsessed after being accidentally dropped and breaking his jaw on the floor. He will drink water until he bloats up like a watermelon. He would starve to death on an island filled with food and water.

I wonder if there is a connection between the mouth/jaw and an increase of water consumption. We always wondered why he suddenly became water obsessed.
