How long can a bladder hold 3 qts of tea?
Hey im on acamping trip out in the desert and we went hicking earlier and i drank quite a bit of iced tea, i simply hate water you see. so looking at the bottle it says i've drinken almost 2 quarts and im working on my third. Im not really desperate yet but i was wondering if it was possible for me to hold it tilll tomorow evening when we go back. I hate using anything that's not a toilet and the only hting we've got here that even resembles the outside world is my laptop! I was just wondering if i tried to hold it till tomorow do you think i could?
Answers:
That is different for each one of us. But is not healthy to hold your bladder full for such a long time.
Tea Eat ok, go backwards
good luck but there was a radio contest and a woman died trying to do what you are doing so if it gets painful find a bush I'm a redneck and have no problems letting go and i see no reason for hurting myself for the sake of not having a toilet cavemen did just fine with out them .
I don't think you'll make it that long. Well, maybe you can, but I know I sure couldn't! And I don't think your bladder is going to like it very much. My advice would be, don't wait until you're desperate to go...it'll be bad enough having to go in the outdoors, but it'll probably be even worse if you're on the verge of wetting yourself. lol, good luck!
Don't hold it or you will make yourself sick
If you can't pee in the outdoors, why do you go camping? If you are in the hot desert, you will lose much water through perspiration, so that will reduce your bladder load.
Your bladder will burst, infecting and even melting your internal organs with uric ammonia and you will die an exceptionally painful, disgusting and dramatic death. And, whether your post is meant to be a joke or worse, if you're actually serious, your being removed from the planet is all for the best.
I wonder why anyone would take a lap top when they go camping.
I also wonder what kind of Internet connection you have out in the wilderness.
I also wonder why someone so hung up on toilets goes camping.
I also wonder since you posted this question four days ago if you have relieved yourself yet or are you still "holding it"
The urinary bladder can hold approximately 17 to 18 ounces (500 to 530 ml) of urine, however the desire to micturate is usually experienced when it contains about 5 to 7 ounces (150 to 200 ml) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/urinary_bla...
Also in regards to the woman that died that was refered to in one of the other answers she was in a contest that also required consumption of large quantitities of water, she died from water poisoning not holding her bladder. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/jennifer_st... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/water_poiso...
