Okay guys...you're totally going to think I'm just f*cking around, but this is a serious question...
With drinking so much water (and liquor) at Roo, I constantly feel like I have to gulp. I probably gulp once every 10 seconds or so. I have a couple of shows this year that I'd killllll to be on the rail for, but that'll never happen if I'm having to gulp so much. I seriously think I just have a small throat. Being from Michigan and not used to the intense heat of a Tennessee summer (I like to use that as an excuse...in actuality, I'm just fat, haha), cutting down on water really isn't an option (not that any of you lovely people would suggest that) and I definitely enjoy my adult beverages while on The Farm. So what other things have people done in the past, if any? Maybe I just need to suck it up and give up the alcohol, haha. I've tried drinking more water than usual the last few weeks and I'm finding that I constantly need to gulp at home, too. (My thought process being that I could train my throat, haha).
I'M SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING WEARING DEPENDS AND JUST PISSING MYSELF.
If you have to gulp that much, you shouldn't be on the rail. Have a little self control, self respect and respect for others and go somewhere else when you have to gulp, so you don't have to do it around everyone else!
Overactive bladder thread, that I understand. Bladder bash thread? More gulps = more pee? Totally fine taking this one as a loss.
Don't bash the bladder. Then you'll have to pee for sure. The more you pee, the more you have to gulp, and I don't want these lazy people gulping around me.

Well once you empty the tanks the next step is to immediately refill right?

The thought of spending the day in 90 degree weather wearing pissed in depends would be enough to get me to skip Bonnaroo no matter how hard I thought AWOLNATION was going to rock the stage or how many fixtures 21 Pilots were going to climb.
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.

Bladder: the organ in your body where urine (that is pee) is stored.
• Bladder spasm: this is when your muscles squeeze on their own – meaning you don’t have control over them, it just happens.
• Catheter: a narrow, plastic tube that you insert into your urethra, that goes to your bladder so you can pee.
• Defecate: another word for pooping.
• Intermittent self-catheterization: intermittent means every once in awhile, but when your doctor says this, he/she means getting on a schedule to use a catheter to go to the bathroom.
• Kidney: a bean-shaped organ that separates waste products (bad stuff) from your body and helps you keep the good stuff (water, salts and more). You have two kidneys, and this is where pee is made.
• Mitrofanoff: an operation that creates a hole in your body, like in your belly button, that lets you pee through a tunnel that goes from your bladder to the hole, called a stoma.
• Overdistended: this is when you have too much pee in your bladder.
• Self-catheterization: means using a catheter all by yourself.
• Spina bifida: a condition you are born with where there is an opening in your spine. Sometimes kids with spina bifida have problems with their bladders.

I read this part and just pictured someone in the bathroom, alone, inserting a catheter while the song by celine dion is playing....

Hi. My name is Sarah, and we have something in common – we both have to use a catheter. A catheter is a small tube that goes through your urethra to your bladder so you can pee. (My Mom is always telling me, “Sarah, say urinate,” but peeing is peeing, right?)
Wait! Let’s stop here for a minute. We’re already using big words like “urethra,” and before we go any further, you need to know what these words mean. So take a look at the box on the left, and you’ll know what I’m talking about.
So now you know what catheter, urethra, bladder and other important words mean. Cool.
Before I tell you more, I know a lot of kids feel sad or scared about using a catheter. I felt like that when I started too. But if you read this book, talk to your doctor and use a catheter for a few days, then you’ll feel much better about it. Honest. You can also color the pictures in this book, and have fun with it.
I enjoy being outside, listening to music, and reading a good story. It’s fun to play a game of fetch with my dog Sadie, and I love to play soccer. I have a brother Sam. We get along most of the time, and we spend time practicing soccer together. (You may have noticed all of our names begin with “S.” My Mom – Susan, of course – says that’s because “S” stands for “Super!”)
OK, enough about me. But I want you to know that I use a catheter, and I do all these things and more!
I’ll be honest – when I first started peeing with a catheter, I didn’t like it. It felt kind of awkward and took a few days to get used to.
Now, I don’t mind, and I really like that I can go anywhere! I mean, now I can go to school, out to play, to the store, just about anywhere. And I also mean that I can pee almost anywhere, thanks to my catheter kit, which means I’m able to go everywhere! Feeling this way gives you so much more confidence and independence.

You might also have an illness that causes you to have to self catheterize, like my friend Kayla. She has to use a wheelchair, but she goes amazingly fast in it. So fast sometimes I can hardly keep up. That’s why I call her “Air Chair Kayla!” Kayla has “spina bifida,” that means she has an opening in her spine. It’s something you’re born with. Even so, Kayla is always smiling. She is always telling me how her name means “crown of laurels.” (I guess that is a bunch of flowers and green things that would look pretty on your head!)
And there’s another girl in my school, Amaya, who is also in a wheelchair and uses a catheter. Her spinal cord and back got badly hurt in a car accident.
Kayla, Amaya and I are all friends, and when we play together sometimes we talk about catheterizing. We’ve decided it isn’t the greatest thing in the world, but being able to do it ourselves makes life easier and makes us feel more independent … grown-up even.
I've seriously never had a problem with nature calling at Bonnaroo - with the exception of when I was drinking alcohol, then yeah. It seems like I sweat out all the water I put in my body.
