How Much Do You Pee?

Drink more water.

Can I have your stuff - but I'll pass on the pissing pot ?

Yes, OP you need to drink more water. You need to keep your kidneys healthy. Forego alcohol, except for wine once in a while, get rid of the caffeine, and sodas, and start getting healthy.

I probably pee that much when I get up in the morning.

Healthy adults normally excrete between a quart and half-gallon of urine each day. So yes, increase your fluid intake.

I’ve lost count. I drink at least 100 oz of water a day. I’ll just drink it while watching tv

100 oz, r6? That seems ... excessive.

I have one serving each of coffee, tea, and diet soda most days. Maybe two glasses of water on top of that, no alcohol.

That ain't much, R8. You should be drinking lots and lots of just plain water.

I drink about 1/2 gallon of water a day, and more when summer comes.

But I live in Florida. YMMV.

I'm so tired of peeing, seriously.

You are obviously not drinking enough water and liquids. MY cousin is like that, he drinks almost zero water. Avoid anything salty and do not add salt to your food. Drink about 6-8 glasses of water (or liquids), preferably in the earlier part of the day rather than the evening.

Drink when you're thirsty.

I lived for decades in Europe (in a country with much longer life-span than the US) and you learn that constant water drinking is an American thing.

It's unnecessary and unnatural.

Stealth golden showers thread...

I may not have worded it succinctly enough. I meant avoid foods that come with a lot of sodium (packaged or prepared meals) and avoid adding more salt to your food.

Tonight for diner I pasta with broccoletti and anchovy. Nice and salty.

^ Tonight for dinner I had pasta

Just drink more fluids, don't worry about all these things people are saying, it's not rocket science. Are you running a lot and sweating?

I would think that if one consumed more salt, one would be likely to drink more liquids, no?

I think you can forego the lab tests.

On the plus side, you have kidney stones to look forward to, as well.

You should drink 6 oz of water every hour for twelve hours - from when you get up to when you go to bed. Leave a six oz glass near your sink, or get a water bottle which is marked for 12 hours (with 6 oz lines) - they have them at amazon. That's 72 oz a day.

Very true, R17. Americans are easily spotted by toting giant bottles and thermoses, by asking for water in restaurants and then complaint about the small size of the glass, by being the only ones talking about "hydration" in any language.

I dribble that much just whipping my cock back into my shorts.

R20 That's exactly what they made me do after kidney failure, salt pills, and drink I did, probably a gallon a day.

The average person urinates seven times a day.

I peed 7 times just while reading this thread.

I pissed seven times just replying to this thread.

I pee seven times during the night.

^^^^ On the can, or still in bed? 😉

I drink about a gallon and a half a day. I piss about every 90 minutes.

If you live in an arid climate, you should drink more water OP. I always keep a glass of water next to the bed. I typically end up slugging it down when I wake in the morning.

There is no such country.

Euros don’t drink water because they’re drinking booze and coffee. Let them whine and bitch they are good at that and cheap to boot. . To a point the more water you drink the healthier you will be. Try for a half gallon a day. If you’re living in an arid climate and exercise a lot double that number. As for ourselves while on outings in such a climate we count on a gallon a day per person. Salt is essential too under conditions where you are using your body and sweating.

Fess up, OPee, you took a few gulps on the way to the lab.

OP your pee should be almost clear with a slight yellow tinge. If it's not, you need to drink more water.

Since we're on the topic of pee, I have the most beautiful Russian ladies of the evening pee on me whenever I visit Moscow!

In the UK, at least in London the water tastes terrible. Really.

You're wrong.

The US doesn't even make the top 20 in terms of health.

Yes the US is not one homogeneous ethic population. A better way to think about it, how can the US be so HIGH in the list, don't compare us to fucking Sweden, white people city.

Get a Brita filter.

I also use a water filter at home, preferring not use use bottle water because of the exposure to BPA and microplastics.

But shouldn't Spain and Italy's aversion to drinking liters of water every day be killing them?

Life expectancy:

Take a look at where the US ranks:

I'd drink more water but then I'd get even less sleep every night.

R44 The best approach is to drink the majority of your water and other liquids by lunch, and have minimal water afterwards.

I tried the whole “drink water only” thing and found myself running to the bathroom every five minutes. It’s uncomfortable.

I understand drinking a lot in harbor during exercise but when you’re just at an office job seated for hours, it doesn’t work.

If your doctor prescribes Metolazone and you do not pee, he is simply waiting for your kidneys to shut down and die.

You need dialysis.

More than I should, less than I’d like.

You don’t have to drink straight water. It’s total fluid intake that’s important. That includes things like coffee, other drinks, and fluids you get from foods like fruits and vegetables.

The US life expectancy statistics are dragged down by factors like poor access to primary care among minority populations, and the large amount of gun violence deaths. It’s not due to drinking too much water.

From the Mayo Clinic:

"So how much fluid does the average, healthy adult living in a temperate climate need? The U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine determined that an adequate daily fluid intake is: About 15.5 cups (3.7 liters)"

Contrast that with what the Italian government recommends:

"Un adulto dovrebbe bere generalmente 2 litri di acqua al giorno per la propria salute."

2 liters of water.

Nobody is drinking 3.7 liters of fluid per day. That’s ridiculous. 2 liters seems much more normal.
