What will happen if I don't drink water?
Basically I never drink water or any other liquids and I was wondering what effects could that have on me? I'm also chubby for my age and I have a friend who drink a lot of water and is really thin, and she told me water helps speed up your metabolism? I know I could dehydrate but what's the importance of drinking water and if I don't what will happen? :3

If what you wrote is true, then you're getting all of your water from food. To do that you must be eating a very large amount. Depending upon what you're eating that may or may not be adequate.
But if you find that you pass little urine and that it's very concentrated (dark yellow) then you are deficient in water. Your stools will be hard, dry and difficult to pass. The urine problem can cause urinary tract infections and kidney stones. The stool problem can cause haemorrhoids and increase your chances of getting colorectal cancers. You may be lethargic and recover slowly from injuries and.diseases. Your blood will be thicker and more likely to form clots within blood vessels harming various organs and increasing your chances of a stroke or heart attack. Your skin and hair will also appear drier and.less healthy.
Plenty of water means your kidneys work harder and they use a huge amount of energy, helping with weight control.
Basically, being water deficient is unhealthy and can cause death or.serious illness as every chemical process in your body takes place in water-rich solutions.

Well you are letting your body get what it needs since your body is mostly eater so if you don't drink water then yes you could get dehydrated but also you could start fating at random times. Also you can feel tired more and dizzy. My best friend has this problem when she stays in the sun too long she fates and she doesnt like drinking water herself so she had to change her ways.

kidney stones, dehydration, potential liver problems etc....
If your kidney has issues, then your body wont be able to balance the water, minerals, process waste etc... properly. Those with kidney problems will need dialysis (which i've heard is painful) and potentially a kidney transplant (which means waiting for a match)
Lots of problems can happen if you dont drink enough water and it can be severe.
