22-Year-Old Nea's Unusual Addiction: Can't Stop Drinking Juice
Nea Bengtsson, 22, drinks only juice—never water. Her unusual addiction has become a staple of her daily life and has gained attention on TikTok.
Nea Bengtsson, 22, recently traveled to Spain. Before the trip, there was one crucial item she couldn't forget to pack: four bottles of Fun Light, preferably the 'wild berries' flavor.
"I didn't want to risk dehydration," says Nea, who is addicted to the juice and refuses to drink water.
"I didn't think it was such a strange addiction. I've been drinking it my whole life, but many people point out that it's completely crazy."
Unusual Addiction: Fun Light Juice
At Nea's home, there's always juice. Every week, she fills the fridge to the brim with pre-mixed bottles, managing to fit 14-15 bottles, stacked like Tetris among eggs, butter, and jam.
"I always restock on Sundays and fill up empty bottles that I mix with juice. So we really only have room for juice in our fridge."
When asked why she's addicted to juice, Nea says she loves the taste and doesn't drink water. By drinking juice, she consumes almost two liters of water a day, she says.
"I sometimes say water is disgusting, but I just think it doesn't taste like anything. It's tastier to drink as juice."
Nea shares that she's been drinking Fun Light her whole life, but in high school, she was challenged to stop drinking juice entirely. Nea wanted to prove it wasn't a problem—but it didn't go well.
"I managed without it for a month, but then I got a headache. Because I never drank water."
Hiding Behind the Curtain
Since her partner is bothered by the apartment being full of empty bottles, which she then refills, Nea has chosen to hide the bottles behind the curtain.
"If you look in any bag, there's an empty bottle, in the car I have lots of bottles, and even by the bedside."
Every year, she drinks more than 700 liters of mixed juice, so family and friends have gotten used to her addiction.
"They know that when there's a dinner, I come with my own juice bottle. People don't even react to it anymore."
Have you met anyone who drinks as much juice as you?
"No, but some have written in my TikTok comments that they've started drinking as much too," says Nea Bengtsson.
