Save the rainforest, take a leak in the shower!

I think I drank 1/8th of my body weight one day and was pissing every 30 min to an hour for about three days. I even stopped drinking water for that period. I finally got back to a safe level of hydration by throwing four blankets on me at night. On another note, that is bullshit (no offense). I am a hip, young 19 year old who weighs about 150 pounds. According to you I should be drinking 75 pounds of water. A ft^3 weighs about 62.4lbs and a ft^3 is about 7.5 gallons of water. At that point I am pretty sure you would die from all that water, whether your body doesn't know what to do with it, or kidney failure years after (yes, you can overdose on water).G1eet said:Haha, same here.crudus said:I am 10 steps ahead of you. Not only do I pee in the shower already (and have been doing so since I was 14-15, being 19 now), if I am ever hyperhydrated (over hydrated) I don't flush the toilet when I pee(flushing the toilet every 30-45 minutes always seemed wasteful to me). My urine is bleach white so nobody notices. Also I pee outside every once in a while.
I've heard that the amount of water you're supposed to drink per day is half your body weight. I like to stay hydrated, but if I drank that much a day, I'd be pissing every ten minutes.
Or maybe I'm not spacing the eighty ounces right.
It's not renewable, though. Yes, desalination makes pretty much the whole sea available for human use, but it is a costly and slow process, and the water produced still isn't brilliant.Xiado said:
Besides, it's the rainforest rivers that need renewable water, not humans so much, and the inlet systems that send water in there are now being shocked out of balance by temperature changes. Salinity is going up in many places. That is the real extent of the problem. In other words, the "water cycle" you speak of is being interfered with.
With that aside, it's about energy conservation, not water conservation. The power used to flush is saved every time you don't flush. The less power is used, the less you pay on your energy bill, and the less has to be produced using coal, gas, oil and nuclear power.
I'm more in favour of solar hot water systems, of course. But they're still far too expensive.
If you're fed up debating, that's fine. Don't bother replying. I've had my say.
I don't think they meant it in pounds, but in ounces.crudus said:I think I drank 1/8th of my body weight one day and was pissing every 30 min to an hour for about three days.

Just don't flush if your widdle is colourless. I guess. It's a hard reflex to shake, though, and I'm not gong to bother trying.
