The only bugger is always finding a toilet.......
Okey, just before taking out my dog I go to the toilet, but then again after 45 mins of walking I desperately need to pee again (I often jump behind a tree!!).

And how many times haven't I been to McDonald just to use their toilets?!!!! (by the way, no food courts here in Europe so you have to find a cafe every single time.......)

try taking a water pill like taraxatone. i have to pull over on the road ,run in the woods and let go. it pulls the water from under your skin so your viens will show as well as your muscles. a good pre- contest pill.

Ack, that much water?
People have died drinking 14 liters (one more gallon). I read that this flushes all the minerals out of your body.

Wouldn't drinking this close to a lethal dose be unhealthy?

This link says at 3 liters (in so short amount of time I assume) caused "Water intoxication" and killed a girl"

you are right in the fact you can drink to much water. There are cases of individuals ending up in the hospital when drinking to much water in an attempt to fake out a urine test for dru tests. The key is to drink water in small amts through out the day. Not all at once. Individuals with high protein diets and intense work outs need more water. I know that a gallon a day is about all I can handle.
