Water, Water Everywhere

So one of the things that I need to do is drink more water.  Water, when provided in a scenario where I am not totally dehyrdated, or if it is warm, is just not one those liquids that I belly up to the bar for.  I know, I know, it is good for me.

Even so, I have been drinking it in immense quantities - for me at least.  It probably isnt all I should drink, but baby steps...baby steps.  I have been adding Mio to the stuff, a "flavor enhancer", and it is pretty good shit.  I actually enjoy drinking water with Mio in it, even if the water is kinda sorta not chilled at 40 degrees.

But then there is the side effect.  I know that I am not a candidate for Detrol LA, or even if Detrol LA is something that a guy would take, but I pee.  A lot.  I mean, it seems like every 20 minutes I gotta get up and take a piss.  New names:  I. P. Freely.  I. P. Contantly.  Sir Pee a Lot.  My new Asian name is Oh So Much Pee. 

My wise father says "welcome to my world", but I am pretty sure this is the same kind of thing as having to get up and pee throughout the night because you are 81 years old.  God, I hope not.  So, Dad, sorry to say, I am not in your world.  Yet.

  1. If you are going that often, you are over hydrated!! There is a break even between drinking enough to be properly hydrated and becoming the guy who misses all the best parts of the movie! I am typically guilty of this same syndrome, although I do beleive my bladder is that of a 5 year old. With all that said, there is a simple formula...clear pee overhydrated, light yellow = golden (see what I did there)....dark yellow and musky....drink up your dehydrated....OR just keep overdrinking and slap on a Diaper!! :)
