You do know that drinking too much water is bad for you? It can dilute your sodium, causing low blood pressure which can then cause a heart attack. It can literally kill you.

What are you trying to achieve by drinking so much water?

I'm lucky if I drink one glass of water in a day, I get hydration from tea, diet sodas and food.

I am drinking the amount my Doctor told me, so I'm going to go with her medical advise. As for doing stuff without a bathroom, if there's a bush then I'l good. Gross, but if you gotta pee you gotta pee.

I have always been a big peer. I pee A LOT. In the morning in particular I will pee at least once every hour. Before I leave home to go to work I will pee maybe 2 -3 times. I can pee on demand.

Me peeing settles down once I eat my first lunch - then it seems to calm down and usually in the afternoon i'll only pee a couple of times.

I try not to drink water in the evening at all. I usually pee at least once a night, and if I drink water then it will be 2-3 times a night.

So sorry I don't have an answer for you!

If I need to NOT pee for any reason, such as I need to drive to my parent's place for example which is 4 hours away, I won't drink any water. Then I usually will only need to stop to pee once or twice.

OMG we could be the same person lol! I have to pee all the time, its comical at this point and all my friends and I joke about it. It does not need to matter how much or how little I drink, I still have to pee A LOT!! I find that if I fast in the morning and skip breakfast its even more then usual, if I eat something it's more my normal, which is still way more then the average person I think. Oh well, that's just my body I suppose and I have gotten used it.

Those of you who drink lots of water how do you deal with peeing all the time? Idk if it's just me but whenever I drink the recommended amount of water I am CONSTANTLY peeing. I'm a mom to a toddler and a student and don't have the time or the ability to be peeing every 10-20 minutes lol. How do you deal with this/what can I do?

Wanted to add my friend drinks way more water than I do and doesn't have to pee nearly as often as I do for some reason

I'd say if you're peeing every 10-20 minutes that you are over-hydrating. There are some general recommendations for water, but there are no hard and fast rules. Individual hydration needs are just that. Over-hydrating can be just as bad as being dehydrated as you quickly deplete electrolytes if you're constantly peeing.

I think you're just drinking too much water and should cut back.

What do you think the recommended amount of water is?

I've always been a big water drinker. I don't drink anything else except the rare cup of tea. I pee normally.

Coffee is a diuretic. That on top of high water consumption will keep you running for the toilet.

I drink zero glasses of water a day. Zero.

I do drink coffee. And eat yogurt. And pudding. And veggies. And fruit. And meat. And fish. And vanilla cones. And soups. And stews. And the occasional diet pop, or beer.

And my pee is pale enough to indicate close to more, as opposed to less than enough, hydration.

Because all the above are net hydrators.

Do you drink any cups of water? Mugs? Goblets? Flutes? Snifters? Steins?

Do you drink water by the thimble? Sip the dew from flower petals? Receive it from hands of fairies?

Do you drink it in a box? Do you drink it with a fox?

Question for the females here regarding having straw-colored pee. Are you peeing in cups to check it out? I know I know, stupid question but I've always wondered when the topic of pee colors and drinking water comes up. Are you peeking between the seat and rim to see it? Obviously when it's in the water it's too late. Just curious! I think I'll keep drinking a lot of water!

Your poetry brought tears to my eyes, and yet I didn't drink them!

But I would definitely drink with a fox

That is actually a very good question. For me (and probably most women) I know what colour my pee normally is once it is in the water. it will still look darker if I am underhydrating. Kidney stones are a great reminder to check your urine. My consultant advised to try and get in 3 litres of liquid (not alcohol) a day for optimum kidney health. No need to go mad with water as it is not the only thing that hydrates you.
