Not the best of topics I know but,...I know that drinking alot of water helps.But what about all the alcohol? Thats gotta go somewhere.(hopefully down). Anyways,was just wondering if you guys had any sugestions on how to keep from having to go every 2 hours or so. Which is my issue anytime I get near alcohol.

this is exactly why i dont drink alcohol at festys. or keep the drinking to a minimum.
Myself as well. I like to drink, but I never get piss-drunk at a festival. First of all, because I like to remember the shows I go to. But secondly, because I like to get my spot in the crowd, and keep it. I hate having to pee during a show.
I drink hard liquor (whiskey) and chase it with water. The alcohol has no effect (bladder wise) as I do not drink any more water than I would if I wasn't drinking.
As for drinking water throughout the day, I usually just sip water constantly. This keeps me hydrated but doesn't over hydrate (if that's possible) and require lots of porto-pottie visits. I normally go a couple times a day and stay very hydrated.
To use the US Army measure, my urine is generally clear and copious when I do go.

I had to pee during the Police last year. I was up at the front and they wouldn't let me leave the pit area unless I waited forever to get back in. So I went back to my spot, grabbed an empty bottle I had in my backpack and wow did it ever feel good. Wish I had a bigger bottle though.

Ladies, they make wide mouth jugs and wide mouth bags so a smart girl gets her guy to carry her "bag" before and after. Just make sure we don't drink it, cause we will, "woman are smarter" after all.
Hey wate,I just figured it out.I won't drink alcohol during showtimes,but,atfterwards when its time to sleep,I'll drink till I pass out.This way the morning heat shouldn't bother me at all. So if you walk by a tent and hear somebody snoring at 12 or 1 O'clock,wake me up please. But for real.. I've been to indoor shows and have seen ladies squat down and take a go right there.(one of the bennefits of a skirt).And as a guy,we can aim pretty well at the floor when were not to excited.But from past experences,don't hold it till your about to burst.If you do the streams so strong that it splashes everywhere.
I have a going problem at these concerts. Usually beer goes through me very, very quick. I have never used a bottle, I usually just fight my way back to my spot. And in my 3 Bonnaroos, I have only taken one poo.

My buddy did this up front during the Police also. I had to hold and hold and hold, then sprint to the porta-pottie the second they walked off stage. Man i can run fast when I need to!

This is consistently my biggest Bonnaroo problem as I make it a point to stay constantly hydrated. I generally have to pee every 25-30 minutes on a dime. It sucks because it makes it nearly impossible for me to get up close for shows. I've dissappointed a good number of friends having to bail for the port-a-johns over the years.

i don't think i had anymore than 2 alcoholic drinks while at roo. i had other party favors that require water. not to mention, alcohol does not sound appealing when i've been baking in the sun and sweating all day.
I just make sure I go before show starts because I do love to drink beer in the hot hot sun. after a couple beers Im just doomed to have to go every hour or 2.
I tend to drink alot at night at fests b/c I don't take part in any other favors. I think I get so dehydrated while I'm there, that the bathroom thing isnt too big of an issue. I just go before a show and I'm usually good
I just drink when I feel like it and then go when I need to go.. My friends are usually blinking and glowing, so its easy to find them in the crowd when I get back

As my Inebriated buddy walks out of the Porto, he yells out, "Dude...I love this place...bonnaroo thinks about everything...they even put beer holders next to the toilet!"
Had to break it to him that that was the urnal. Good times good times!
I was trying to find this great invention that I guess isn't around anymore, called the sneaky leaker. If you go to sneekyleaker.com it says under construstion, but it was basically a mass produced condom with a tube on the end that ran down your leg (if you were wearing jeans) and then you peed whenever you fealt the need. It was made by people in new orleans for mardi gras. Go figure with those cajuns.
But while I was looking I ran across this video for the ladies, pretty ingenious idea. Some kind of cone that helps you pee while standing up. Check it out it's called the magic cone, and now you can be just like one of the boys. magic-cone.com/animation1.htm
