Why would anyone ever drink gasoline?!?!

I was just flipping through the channels, trying to find something besides the news, and suddenly I saw a girl drinking gasoline on the screen. I was like, What the heck is she doing? I started to watch the show because I thought that it was so crazy that I had to watch it.  The channel turned out to be TLC and the show was "My Strange Addiction". The girl on the show is addicted to drinking. She drinks gasoline out of a gas can 15- 30 times a day, as well as eats newspaper drenched in gas everyday. I don't understand what would cause a person to decide to give gasoline a try! The girl said that it burns and hurts a lot to drink it, but yet she says that it makes her happy, does this even make sense?

She cannot stop even though she knows that the gas is burning her insides out, ruining her liver, and that it will most likely kill her because it is not digestible. She finally went to a doctor and she found out that she had an enlarged liver and a ton of nerve damage. The doctor finally convinced her that she needs to stop because she could die tomorrow, and at the end of the show it said that she had not had any in a few months.

This show was crazy. Honestly, I don't see how she has not died from drinking all that toxic substance, but I hope that none of you ever get addicted to gasoline!
