How to remove the addiction of alcohol Drinking (Part 2)

Question by Spartan Woman: I think my body is excreting too much water, sodium & potassium! What can I do?
I am chronically dehydrated even though I drink probably a gallon of water a day. I’ve used unrefined sea salt for years since they say it’s the best for you. Medical lab work have shown that I’m consistently low on potassium, especially in the summer when I perspire a lot, unless I take potassium supplements. My great uncle on my mother’s side, when he died, supposedly had little or no salt (sodium) in his body and that contributed to his death. My father died of pneumonia but he was dehydrated, had little sodium and little potassium in his body at the time. They tried to give him potassium by IV but the doctor said that Dad’s body just wouldn’t accept the potassium. What can I do to make sure I don’t wind up with worse problems than I have?
