There may be some truth to that diuretic thing. If I am drinking coffee regularly (two to three cups a day), I am consuming about 30 oz of additional liquid, but I have to go about every 10 hours or so, vs when I don't drink coffee in a day, then I only go twice a day. Makes sense I reckon.
Without the caffiene, though, I am dysfunctional.

The caffeine in coffee or tea (or soda) inhibits antidiuretic hormone (ADH), the effect of which is to promote water loss by the kidneys. This can lead to dehydration. However, those that ingest caffeine containing substances frequently do build up some degree of tolerance (and for the caffeine addicts, going without can lead to low blood pressure, headaches, irritability, difficulty concentrating, among other symptoms of caffeine withdrawal) Some of us are naturally cranky <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I was just thinking...I can't even remember a "twice a day" day! Less than six and I know I didn;t drink enough water!

On second thought..... I am consuming about 30 oz of additional liquid, but I have to go about every 10 hours or so, vs when I don't drink coffee in a day, then I only go twice a day. This is intriguing. I just have to get this straight: If you drink plenty, you go every ten hours. If you don;t, you go twice a day. I need more time to work on this one. <img src="/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

I thought about that too, but I am still too green with envy to worry about simple math...

Simple math? This was a tough problem! But I got the answer!!!
No coffee = twice a day
Lots of liquids = once a day
Stretch? = twice by 0900 (liquids or not) Might as well drink the coffee

"...But I got the answer..."
Yeah, but how did you define "day?" Twenty four hours, an eight hour work shift, sunup to sundown, get out of bed to get into bed??? The numbers become mind boggling.
"...twice by 0900 (liquids or not)..."
Welcome to my world. That could be a song title...

I agree OldBaldGuy. Something is fishy about his times. I can't go more than 4 hrs w/o a pee break. I think that he's going to pay the piper with a vengeance when he gets a little older.
