Having too much water in the body could cause so much complications; just as having too little can be dangerous. In each of these scenarios the body tries to maintain equilibrium through a process called homeostasis. Homeostasis depends on many variables, such as body temperature and body fluid being kept within certain pre-set limits. The essence of homeostasis is maintain bodily functions and metabolism at equilibrium state. If Loiue takes in so much water in a very hot atmosphere or during summer even though he's not thirsty, his body would have to get rid of the excess water by sweating. On the other, during winter, or in a cold environment Loiue's body would have to get rid of excess water by urinating frequently.
