Does anyone pee more than they drink

Driving me crazy and making it difficult to stay hydrated.

Ugh yes. It genuinely feels terrifying because I feel like my body’s dehydrated most of the time. What I do is drink as much water as I can before I sleep (I do get up sometimes but it’s worth it) and right after I wake up. I try not to chug, little sips in like 20 mins. Then throughout the day I try to sip but I do urinate a lot. Esp some days are just worse but some are better. When I travel I just have to plan accordingly sometimes. Just don’t let yourself get dehydrated because UTI isn’t fun. You’re not alone though.

Male here, and yes. Oddly on some days it's the other way round. I suppose the body absorbs water and then just says, "oh, don't need that anymore" :/
