How much water do you need to drink if...

You'll be standing on a General Admission floor at an arena concert and it's hot and sweaty?

Here's the math problem:

You can't make any pee runs between 8pm and 9:30pm (with a tiny bladder) and further runs (if any) should be minimized until 11:30pm.

How much fluid do you need to take in on the day of the show and when should you have your last beverage before 9:30?

Obviously, this is an inexact science, but educated estimates would be appreciated.

Maybe I should've entitled this thread "The Science of Pee". smile

My pee science experiences have always been at Coachella, where it's usually above 100F and you're in the sun all day. In order to be in the front for Prince last year, I drank twenty 16-oz bottles of water and only peed once the entire day (after the show).

So I guess the answer is anywhere between 0-20 bottles of water, considering the temperature. This wasn't helpful at all, was it?
Oh shit, my hat done fell off

Lol at the orgnote Ace lol
Depends on a few things:
Did u exercise that day?
In addition to your 6- 8 glasses of daily fluids (water, tea, coffee, etc.), u should have an ounce for each minute of exercise. You'll be in a hot place - a 16 - 20 ounce bottle of water one hour before the start of the show,
that being said, I would probably have my last drink at 8:30 and nothing with cranberry juice (a natural diuretic) in it.
And if you gotta go, you gotta go - holding it could lead to a bladder infection. sad

Helpful at all?
