A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibilities: There is a possibility that this is a simple drink/pee habit due to an obsession with drinking often. The kidney would respond by diluting his pee & not retaining the normal amount of water to keep thirst down. There is also defects in the kidney where they can't retain water that needs attention (diabetes incipidus). It can also be a sign of regular diabetes. Discuss it with his doc.
