I just try to keep the drinking to outside of centeroo, only sampling from the Brooer's Tent when I'm not really into any of the shows playing at the time (usually early in the day). I always make sure to pee before I go into centeroo, and I usually don't have too many problems.
Definitely make sure you go before you go into centeroo before any headlining show, because the Port-a-potty lines are ridiculous immediately before and immediately after that time.

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
my girlfriend showed me a sight with something very similar but i cant for the life of me figure it out. same basic principle but smaller i believe. those would be clutch for the ladies i believe. i wouldnt be able to use it though or pee in the bottle, im pee shy unless its URGENT haha

I pee a lot less at Roo than I expect to given my liquid intake. I think it's because of all of the dancing and sweating. That said, we bring a shower tent and fold up toilet, which I use before heading to Centeroo every time. I can usually hold it until a show break when I'm down there. Any women every try a pStyle?

there are several on here that swear by them - I don't think I could do it

I know. I'm debating whether or not to even spend the $ to try it out. I expect that it would just be a whole lot more difficult than squatting.

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.
Just an FYI.. alcohol itself suppresses your kidney's antidiuretic hormones.. this is what regulates the amount of water passes through your kidneys to your bladder, so alcohol of any type will make you urinate more of the water you take in than if you don't drink any alcohol.

As long as you're a habitual heavy drinker, you'll be pre-dehydrated and can drink all day without urination.

lol im curious as to why people think not going the first time is going to prevent you from having to go later.... if anything youre just gonna have to piss yourself really badly instead of half as bad if you had just gone that first time.

i don't understand the logic behind it either, but i try to hold it as long as i can otherwise i'd be peeing every 10 minutes.

ha yeah the don't break the seal rule is complete b.s. i wish it were true but i guess ill have to suffer through concerts, movies, and long car rides with the way my bladder is. its so frustrating.
Also, one thing to try is instead of drinking water, try drinking gatorade or using a water mixing powder that has electrolites. That should help retain some of the water. Try and avoid alcohol though or atleast wait till at night when your back at your camp site. I know I'm not alone here but 2 roos ago I lost my group cause I had to make a run to the port-a-poti. The bottle idea is a pretty good idea though.
