I want to drink more water...

I dunno what to do about it, though.

probably nothing you can do. i guess you just have a very small bladder?

we are all special in our own ways, user

damn it.

for you

>tfw never timed my pees

oh and captcha was select all waterfalls. damn.

Is this thread a joke? You drink as much as your body needs, this differs from person to person. If you need to piss constantly after drinking that amount, and your urine looks clear, then it is completely fine to drink less water.

If you absolutely need a 'rule of thumb' look at the color of your urine. If its clear, you dont need to drink any more water at that time. if your urine is very dark in color, then it contains lots of waste products and it is a good idea to drink more water. But really, just drink as much as you feel you need to drink and follow obvious tellsigns like a hot sunny day, to drink more than normal.

Friendly warning, if you piss much without drinking much water. Keep in mind that it is a sympton for diabetes.

For fun I counted for a while when I first read that all mammals urinate for 21 seconds regardless of size. Not even close.

Piss at work.

Just drink 2 glasses from the tap when you feel thirst. It's not hard.

Tfw you're a white collar wageslave and take piss breaks every ten minutes

>those hours
How fucking miserable. Hope your wife and kids appreciate you wasting your life away

Water intake is simple. If your piss is completely clear, you are drinking too much water. It should be a bit yellow. The idea that there is one universal amount of water that every one should drink regardless of environment, energy output, or any other factor like someone running across a dessert needs as little water as someone sitting at home on a nice cool day is absurd.

I drink at least four liters of water at work a day. Then at least two afterwards. If I don't, I feel pretty dry.

What kind of place doesn't let you take a piss?

Who the fuck told you this?

Drink when you're thirsty, you don't need to drink more than that.

Also, as a sidenote: If you live somewhere that doesn't have drinkable tap water, you and everyone in your group should kill yourself.

It sounds like a lot of you people have literally 0 salt intake. If you're pissing too much get some more salt in you. Unless you have kidney issues or other health problems you will retain that water a little longer and the bladder will not expand so quickly. A gently filled bladder is a seldom emptied bladder.

You need to consume 2l of water a day, not drink. Your metabolism produces a few milliliters, you breathe in a few more from the water in the air, and some more are obtained from the food you eat.
Only drink when you are thirsty and you'll cover your daily intake.
Pic unrelated.

I believe you mean his wife and his wife's kids.

They key is not to gulp.

I eat my fair share of shitty fast food, not every day but once or twice a week, and sometimes instant noodles, and i still piss within half an hour of consuming liquid, especially if it's coffee, maybe I should hit the doctor but I think I just have a shitty bladder, I have no other health effects or pains in my dick area.

Am I the only other person here who's wife has a son?

If you're in Canada check out the latest episode of Nature of Things on CBC.

If not then here's the tl:dr

>you need 2L of liquid per day, depending on your size and activity
>this includes the water you drink
>this includes alcohol
>this includes soups
>this includes food
A chicken breast has roughly 150ml of water in it, as per the episode

>potatoes: 70% water
>brocoli: 80% water

Don't kill yourself drinking all that water OP. Keep track of how well you are hydrated by the colour of your urine.

all that shit

Why the fuck are you guys looking at the color of your urine? Do you look at/ sniff your toilet paper after you wipe too? Are you giving yourself a prostate exam as well? Just fingering your own assholea in hopes of saving a trip to the doctors?

Those are very, very basic guidelines that are in no way a direct indication of any problem. The color of your piss may mean nothing. Check with your doctor, who you should be seeing on a regular basis anyways. If you're an American, take advantage of our newly implemented socialist health care.

>Why the fuck are you guys looking at the color of your urine?

I can sympathise with this. I drink 5-6 litres a day and have to piss every hour. I usually wake up twice a night to piss and every time it's all pure white and clear. I guess I just like being hydrated? If I don't drink a lot of water my mouth goes dry and I get headaches.

You need a doctor. You might have diabetes or failing kidneys.

I thought it could have been that but I've had it for the past 3 years. I should be dead if it was.

Well, not all organ failure is acute and not all diseases will kill you dead in a few months... Seriously. 5-6L is way way too much, you need to go see a doctor.

Fuck I will. Hopefully it's nothing serious but thanks user.

Kidney failure has opposite effects- you don't piss at all. So don't worry too much.
Generally if you eat enough salt and minerals with your 5l of water you should be okay, but seeing a doctor won't harm you

This a question for a doctor, not a cooking board.
Seriously, see a doctor.

Caffeine is a diuretic, so if you consume a lot of caffeine then you'll pee a lot.

My mother for some time worked in a place where her work station after a little while would freeze until resumed, taking time off your paycheck. Tldr: Bathroom = smaller paycheck.

That has to be the USA.

workers rights = communism

Diabetes

I had a job like that for a couple of years when I was in my early 20s

You had to punch in a special code to pee, and you were only allowed up to 19 minutes pee time a week or you got an official warning

After two warnings you were placed on probation, if you didn't have a month of under 19 minutes of pee time a week, you were fired

I thought it was funny but the 50 year olds working there sure didn't

Jesus christ go to college or trade school you plebe. I have no time management and 1:15 for lunch every day. Jesus christ

Calm down, cleetus, I have a white collar job now and I'm judged by my results not by a time clock

Apparently in 'murica it's not ok to joke about an orwellian workplace, otherwise the Randroids will get triggered and start screaming at everyone to pull themselves up by boot straps

Are you drinking small sips every so often or are you drinking large gulps whenever you remember to drink?

If you drink too much water at once, then it just runs through. The body can only process a small amount of water at once, so you will just piss out the surplus. You should basically have a drink right next to you all the time and only take small sips.

>results oriented high-five!

Is he black or from the middle east?

don't start now, it's hard to stop if you do.
somewhat related, but does anyone else weigh themselves before and after they shit/piss?

Literally everyone.

Greetings from Australia

Neither

Thank fuck for that. I thought i might be (more) autistic.

once you become fully hydrated (a gallon a day) your body stops needs to piss as much. You arent hyrdrated, so when you drink water you have waste products your body wants to get rid of asap. once waste products are flushed and your body regulated again, you shouldnt have to piss as much as when you started drinking more.

I drink 64 oz a day. I hate water but being dehydrated all the time makes you look super old and makes your skin bad, so I see it as a way of keeping healthy. All I drink is water and beer and whiskey. water for most of the day, beer and whiskey at night,m chug water before I go to bed. (I'll have a baja blast if I ever get taco bell, which is rare but I like the taste.

The main thing is every hour or so, whenever you remember to, take 10 pulls from your water bottle. one, swallow, two swallow, three swallow, etc until you've hit 10-15 swallows. you do this, before you know it, you're down a liter before you're done with half a day of work.

finish a liter off during work (i finish two), go about the rest of your day sipping on your water, right before bed, chug 15 pulls of water.
Before you know it, you'll start feeling a little better about doing it.
