Google, how many pints can your bladder hold?

quote:

A normal bladder empties 4 – 7 times each day depending on how much you drink and holds up to three-quarters of a pint. It usually starts to tell you that you will need to go to the toilet when half this amount is in your bladder.

He goes right alongside the other old one at the bar who, if even half the stories about him are true, he's the hardest man you know. The sort of guy who's only getting off that barstool if he's about to do something that'll going back to the jail the next day.

Chuffin' heck, I'd burst! I go about 19 times a day (my grandma counted me when I was staying with her once when I was about 15).
I don't even drink a huge amount, maybe 1.5 litres a day including 3-4 coffees and a few glasses of water.

(Another reason why if bog roll gets rationed to 2 a week as per previous discussion in earlier iteration of this thread would be a disaster in my life!)


That guy in those photos higher up who drinks 30 pints a day looks like Churchill.

They have the tactics down too. Sit beside someone whose supping, talk to them as if they are best friends, and when they order the next pint for themselves go 'and the usual' to the barman.

I don't think this takes into account the effect known as breaking the seal, after which pints go directly from mouth to bladder whilst in a pub

I know we've got a couple of posters ITT who live near the England/Wales border, I've got a question about lockdown rules that I can't find the answer to:

I know that we don't have to stay local in Wales anymore from this weekend, and that the same applies to England from next week, but that we're not letting the English in for another fortnight; I can't find any info about whether Wales residents are allowed to cross over into England though (tonnes of info online about the converse, but nobody wants to go to England lol). Anyone got any idea?

You can use a catheter and leg bag which will provide an additional pint and a half of capacity.

Or a bucket on the floor if you're really hard core.

during the apollo program, scientists analysed how much piss you could fit in an astronaut by getting a bunch of astronaut candidates to hold their piss as long as they could, for america

the former naval pilots scored the best, up over a litre as memory serves


I mean personally I'm no astronaut but I have filled a pint glass before apologies to the bar staff

I was catheterised for Some Considerable Time after surgery, and when they took it out and I had my first genuine piss in weeks they kept a second pisspot on hand as I seemed likely to fill the first. Those had a 1 litre capacity, as I recall.

An anaesthetist friend of mine told me that when you're absolutely bursting at the seams desperate for a wee your bladder is actually about a third full. That was probably bollocks though.

Also that by far the most pathetically, sobbingly grateful patients he ever encounters are when he helps people who haven't been able to pee.

I know a few of my co-workers want to go back to the office because they miss the... I guess social aspect of it? I don't mean hanging out with friends but literally being in the same room as people you're working with.

Which, you know, sounds great, until you think 75% of my team works in India.

I'm planning on never going back into the office personally.

That and the fact that companies now know that they can significantly reduce their rented office footprint without damaging productivity. Rishi's battling the tide here tbh.

I want to go back to the office, I'm going stir crazy at home. Never five days a week if I can avoid though. I think that's in line with most people.

The CEO of the company my brother-in-law works for is strongly against working from home and wants everyone back in as soon as it's viable. He says they're already losing out on probably 50% of the candidates they want to recruit purely because of that attitude.

I’m probably going to end up going into the office at most one or two days a week when it’s safe to, it’s so much nicer not having to spend two hours commuting each day.

Oddly for a software company they’ve generally been against much working from home because the boss thinks people will use it as an excuse to doss off, but the last year has changed that and the fact that the company can expand without having to constantly find new offices is a huge plus.
