What is your threshold for pissing in the night?

We were "Dr. Feelgood and Nurse Goodbody". Won a $75 bar tab. Drank it all up!

I seem to remember first place that year was a chick with a lamp shade on her head and a cardboard table over her shoulders. That's right, she was the "one night stand".

Back in the day, AND THIS IS WAAAAY OFF TOPIC, when I was a budding musician we scored a Halloween gig at a local Moose Lodge. Moose Lodge, at the time, was a low class, very low class, Elks Club situation. You know, really cheap drinks and rotgut beer in cans for 'members' only. The idea was to play good old Country Rock N' Roll for like almost free of charge for the piano player's uncle or whatever.

Anyways, there was a costume party contest thing going on with first prize being some sort of shot-gun which the MC was waving around who seemed quite ignorant of the etiquette of the brandishment of weaponry in boozy bar-type venues. What I vaguely remember was the 'lady' contestant who wore white long johns (with the classic trap door arrangement) who rocked a wire dispenser of toilette paper about her neck. Her long johns (and face) were smeared with brown paint. I am not totally sure but I think she was going as a 'szhit-faced person'. Truly, truly well below any idea I may have had to date of low-class scatalogical humor, if you will.

So I'm thinking this is gonna be the anecdote I will recite on future interviews with The Rolling Stone magazine about the early days once I became a world-famous rock-star drummer.

Well, during the break between the first and second set, whilst hammering free cans of Pabst Blue ribbon beer, and upon witnessing the the horror noted above, our lead guitarist suggested we do our best to see how long it would take to get kicked off the stage and be allowed to go home with each of us retaining the correct number of soft orifices on our persons.

Okay, man, Kool!

Well out goes Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band and in comes Alvin Lee and Ten Years After but without the lilting subtlety, nuance and restraint and with our crappy amps turned up to 12.

Understandably, they offered us even more free beer TO LEAVE.

Winning!

My threshold and best distance at night is right at 5 feet.
I prefer to be 30-40 yards from the tent for obvious reasons... I'll pee across the trail leading to my tent as a "Warning", you've been warned.

Used to never get up since I was up at 4:30 am for work.
Pushing 62 and I'm up once between midnight and 2:30am, and again at the butt crack of dawn... or 6 am, whichever happens at about, um 6 am.

Typically once or twice a week and usually after I ignore my 6:30 P.M. fluid cutoff. For a while after having my prostate packed full of isotopes, it was once or twice a night, so I am happy with my current situation and still roaming the planet.
My NW WI place has no indoor facilities, A wide mouth Nalgene jar saves walking outside for relief and lawn watering. Also, virtually leakproof. Keep one in the car as well, just in case. Both are labeled, PIZZ ONLY" also just in case.

No booze yesterday but a big glass of water in the evening. Like 25oz's.

Urinated twice and they were just regular. No fire hose volume and pressure ejecting the X number of light beers I had.

Feel pretty clear headed this morning. Must be that mug of water.

My business partner regularly flies a project near Denver, Co. It is a LONG day's flight from OKC to there and back. Just pulling off a rest stop is not an option. He has a bottle that was a Simply Salad dressing bottle with a wide mouth on it. He taped over the word salad, and wrote in a more earthy name for urine.

It is fairly simple when the airplane is in autopilot mode to slide the seat back just a little, and relieve the bladder. He has also marked the cap with a home made label to be double extra sure he knows what the bottle it is for.

My go-to when camping at the track is a used (empty) laundry detergent 60 oz bottle.
Remove the white splash guard w pliers, the top stays secure . Dump the night's results in the toilet - throw out the bottle, easy peasy.

I always carry a wide mouth milk or juice container under the car seat.
Haven't had to yet...but you never know when it might be needed.

[A930Rocket]

No comments from the peanut gallery, but how do you piss while driving?😂

[stevej37]

Lane control assist.
Honda thinks of everything.

Be happy that I'm not texting while driving.

I'm 67 and maybe 3 nights a week go once otherwise not. I am on Flomax

I had a neighbor as a kid that had a '49 Merc sedan. He drilled a hole in the floor of the car for his elderly father in law to use a funnel and hose to relieve himself on long rides. He got pulled over on the highway once and warned he had a leaking gas tank by the officer. He just pointed behind him to the old man, nuff said.

It takes on average 21 seconds for a mammal to empty their bladder.

https://www.livescience.com/46625-most-mammals-take-21-seconds-to-pee.html

Start counting and if you are hitting less than 21 on average you are going too soon / often and you need to retrain your bladder. If longer on average start going more frequently because holding it is not good either.

If you are 45 or older and NOT taking saw palmetto, start now.

I've tried a few different brands over the years but always come back to this one, works for me.

I've recommended it to several friends and each one of them says it's the best advice I've ever given them.

Anyone going 3+ times per night regularly should have your blood sugar checked. It’s one of the symptoms of diabetes.

LOL. Maybe he thinks it "needs air."

What does it do? If you stop, do you see a marked difference and then starting back up again makes another marked change?

I hit google. Webmd came up.

Apparently, you can take it rectally. I guess someone was thinking, get it close to the source so to speak.

If you get pregnant, you'd better stop. I guess this one is for woke folks that are confused about their indoor plumbing. (j/k, I know that women could take it for some reason)

Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Saw palmetto is likely unsafe when taken by mouth during pregnancy or breast-feeding. It acts like a hormone, and this could be dangerous. Don't use during pregnancy or breast-feeding.

Apparently, it's also available in a lotion. I can see/how that might help things depending upon where you're rubbing it. Maybe that's for when capsules are taken rectally.

Just plant material that helps keep the prostate in check.

It prevents the breakdown of testosterone which is in part what leads to an enlarged prostate among other undesirable things that come with low T.

Getting up frequently at night to pee is an indication things are going south down south.

And nothing woke about it, people have been taking it for over 150 years.

Hah...I can do it in 15 seconds.

I think a persons weight has a lot to do with it also. I just tip 150 and when I feel the need to go, I better find a spot soon.

Well that's the point, you don't want to try to pee faster or for shorter periods of time regularly.

Occasionally it's not an issue, it's regularly.

The 21-second rule
Urologist Nicole Eisenbrown told Well and Good that this "21-second rule" can be used to help keep an eye on your own health and habits. Basically, if you time yourself peeing (over a period of time, not just one sitting) and find that you take significantly longer or shorter than 21 seconds, it can indicate that you are holding it in for too long, or not enough.

Say you are in a profession where it's difficult to get away to the bathroom (e.g. a teacher) and thus hold it in for as long as you can. This can enlarge your bladder by chronically over-extending it, and could cause you functional problems down the line.

Should you pee too often (and peeing for much less than 21 seconds would be a good indicator of this), you may end up with an "overactive bladder": your bladder feels full and you need to pee, even when you shouldn't.

As mentioned in the study above, altered flow rates can be an indication of more serious health problems, as well as other smaller ones. If you find yourself peeing frequently, and so the volume is smaller, it can be a sign of bladder stones, for example, or cystitis. Longer times spent urinating at lower pressure could indicate prostate problems.

It should be noted that as males get older, flow rates do go down, but should you have any concerns about your urination – particularly if you are experiencing other symptoms such as pain or discomfort – it is worth discussing with a physician.

I had a CBD gummy for sleep and woke up 9 hours later needing to piss badly!

[stevej37]

^^^ I don't think I've ever slept 9 hours.
I might have to try that.

Got it. Thanks

No, it was (obviously) a lame attempt at a joke. WebMD had something about not taking it when you're pregnant or lactating. My joke was about a trans person that's a pregnant woman identifying as a man and taking saw palmetto because, you know, she's a he. etc....

Clearly, poorly presented.
