What are you doing exactly? If you're working those kinds of hours why aren't you sweating it out

>>7974194

OK, so drink some water while at work (but not an absurd amount), and then drink the rest of the water during the 12 hours you have off. I don't see how that's a problem at all.

>>7974187
Why isn't going to the bathroom realistic? Do they chain you to your desk?

do you have an enlarged prostate anon? ask your doctor about BPH. it might not be a going problem, it might be a GROWING problem!

>>7974308

Hmm, not OP, but if I drink 0,5-1 liter of water, I need to piss like 3 or 4 times frequently afterwards.

They say normal piss duration is 21 second, but I can't remember ever pissing for that long unless it's one of those really uncomfortable overfilled bladder mornings.

>>7974360
that's fucked up

>>7974369

I dunno what to do about it, though.

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.

>>7974467

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

>>7974187
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

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

>>7974187
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.

>>7974187
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?

>>7975403
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 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.

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.

>>7976270
all that shit

w/ ranch

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.

>>7976331
You need a doctor. You might have diabetes or failing kidneys.

>>7976347
I thought it could have been that but I've had it for the past 3 years. I should be dead if it was.

>>7976352

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.

>>7976365
Fuck I will. Hopefully it's nothing serious but thanks anon.

>>7976369
>>7976347
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

>>7974187
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.

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

>>7974187
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.

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.
