    .... that if you need a pee normally than you can hold it without any discomfort for a decent (i realise this is totally subjective) amount of time.

    ... but if you have had alcohol and can't make it to a toilet or suitable depository/receptacle then the pain becomes almost unbearable almost instantaneously. Think of a packed nightclub or a plane when the seatbelt light just wont go off....

    Well, alcohol is a diuretic. So...

    And no one drinks that much water pint after pint, as you would pints.

    If you drink 2 pints of beer vs 2 pints of water you will be alot more desperate for the jacks after the beer than the water imo.... is my point. I get that you wont be drinking 10 pints of water ordinarily.

    Your liver is busy detoxifying the alcohol and sending the waste to your kidneys. If that didn't happen you'd be in trouble.

    Surely that should delay the need for a wee though:confused:

    I can drink 3 pints of Guinness say in an hour comfortably, it’s pretty rare where you’d be just sat at home and neck 3 pints of water, coke or apple juice.

    I'm not necessarily on about volume, just the inherent need to pee!

    The urge is greater after beer/alcohol than it is off other beverages!

    Just break your phone instead!

    You're in trouble anyway... your liver cannot completely detoxify alcohol, every drink you take slightly poisons your liver. Once you have subpar liver function, everything else starts gradually malfunction too. (including kidneys and bladder control etc)

    You only need to be a moderate weekend drinker to have subpar liver function. Tests have shown this!

    You don't understand the word diuretic, do you?
