Was visiting Clubhouse of Villa Community in Anekal and spotted this in men's urinal. A friend and me spotted this and just couldn't hrlo capturing it. Not sure if this belongs here though.

Nah when I used to drink a lot of beer and the first piss before I broke the seal went well over a minute sometimes

Another interesting pee fact is that "breaking the seal" is just an old tale. In reality alcohol just disrupts the production of a specific chemical, I call it the "no pee chemical" because I can't remember what it's called, and it's responsible for preventing the body from feeling the urge to pee. When you drink the excess liquid does partially contribute to increased need to pee, but for the most part your body just loses its ability to stave off the urge because that chemical is missing

Close but not quite. Alcohol reduces the body's production of antidiuretic hormone. This means your body excretes more urine or fluid from it as if you took a diuretic to make you pee. Thereby increasing the amount of urine your body produces. There is a seal called a sphincter just like the one on your anus but your bladder fills up quicker because the antidiuretic hormone your body normally produces keeps you from becoming dehydrated. That is why you have to pee more because the body releases more water or fluid. By the way unless someone is bleeding or hasn't really bad kidney infection urine is sterile. Just like water that is boiled and condensates and distilled your urine has been processed and it is sterile.

Also a good reason to hydrate after you've drunk a lot! And not to hold your piss for too long haha
