I always used to be the one famous for making the waiters work for their tips because my glass is always emptied, but now I just can't... haven't had my thyroid recheck yet, but it can't be on the high side because I am on a lower dose than before and have none of my own (and high is what passes fluid faster, I'm pretty sure)... if anything I worry about low thyroid...
