The average bladder can hold between 10 and 15 ounces when at maximum capacity. If you're drinking enough water for your body and peeing around six to seven times in 24 hours (or around every 2.5 hours), all is likely well, according to Cleveland Clinic and Mayo Clinic.

Read More »Ah, excessive urination. On the one hand, if you don’t usually drink enough water, upping your intake can seem like a rebirth of sorts. It might feel like all of a sudden, you’ve unlocked the secret to maintaining consistent energy levels, warding off the kind of intense cravings that lead to doughnut daydreams, and keeping dehydration-induced headaches at bay. But along with all the benefits of staying hydrated comes one potential drawback: spending what feels like your entire life hustling to and from the bathroom. Peeing frequently is often part and parcel of staying hydrated. But there is such a thing as peeing too much, and it can happen for various reasons. Here’s how to know if you spend too much time on the porcelain throne. There’s no one-size-fits-all recommendation for how often or how much you should pee. That’s namely because there’s no concrete recommendation for how much water to drink each day for proper hydration—it varies from person to person. “The best way to know if you’re well hydrated is [to look at] the color of your urine,” Amy George, M.D., a urogynecologist at UC Davis Medical Center, tells SELF. “If your urine is very dark and smells of something you’ve just eaten or drunk, you probably need to drink more water. But if it's very clear or pale yellow, you’re well hydrated.” Whether or not you’re well hydrated, there is no set “normal” number when it comes to urinary frequency. Instead, there’s a range. The average bladder can hold between 10 and 15 ounces when at maximum capacity. If you’re drinking enough water for your body and peeing around six to seven times in 24 hours (or around every 2.5 hours), all is likely well, according to Cleveland Clinic and Mayo Clinic. But if you pee way more or less often than six to seven times a day, your body might be crying out for help. Let’s say you regularly keep your butt parked at your desk with just one or two bathroom breaks; you have intense snack cravings; and when you do pee, it’s the kind of deep yellow you usually only see in a Crayola box: You’re probably not drinking enough water. You’d think thirst would tip you off to this fact, but it’s common to confuse thirst with hunger (which explains the snacking urge). And more rarely, peeing infrequently can be a sign of a kidney issue—if you’re well hydrated and still not peeing very often, see your doctor, George says. “Whatever you’re taking in, you should be putting out,” Fara Bellows, M.D., assistant clinical professor of urology at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, tells SELF. The main exception to this rule is if you exercise frequently and lose a lot of fluid via sweat. “If you’re sweating a lot, your [urinary] output may not necessarily equal your intake,” George says. Bellows agrees, adding that urinary output "definitely varies based on the person."

All the body's cells need water to function well. The problem arises when you drink too much water, which is called overhydration. There's no single formula to determine how much water you should drink daily. The popular recommendation of eight glasses a day is a good starting point. You should adjust your intake around this amount depending on your environment, exercise regimen, overall health, and conditions like pregnancy or breastfeeding. What Happens When You Drink Too Much Water? When you drink too much water, you may experience water poisoning, intoxication, or a disruption of brain function. This happens when there's too much water in the cells (including brain cells), causing them to swell. When the cells in the brain swell they cause pressure in the brain. You may start experiencing things like confusion, drowsiness, and headaches. If this pressure increases it could cause conditions like hypertension (High Blood Pressure) and bradycardia (Low Heart Rate). Sodium is the electrolyte most affected by overhydration, leading to a condition called hyponatremia. Sodium is a crucial element that helps keep the balance of fluids in and out of cells. When its levels drop due to a high amount of water in the body, fluids get inside the cells. Then the cells swell, putting you at risk of having seizures, going into a coma, or even dying.
