I know it enters the mouth and flows through the pharynx. After that, I am lost. If I trace the path through the esophagus and into the stomach, it ends up eventually leaving through the rectum, but where do the kidneys come into play. Can you trace the path of water for me from the mouth all the way out through the urethra?

After pharynx and esophagus it enters the stomach, where is mixed with the rest of the food. Leaving stomach through pylorus, into 12-inch long beginning part of bowel, where most of it is absorbed into the arterial blood stream, through tentacle-shaped absorbing part of the bowel. The rest is in form of "porridge" and travels through the rest of the bowel, until it enters caecus. In this part of bowel, the rest of water is absorbed to the arterial blood stream through bowel wall, forming pretty solid fecal mass in the end.
From the blood stream, water goes into cells, where it collects cell excretions. Such "contaminated" water is turned back into venal blood stream, that leads to the heart, via kidneys. To see what kidneys actually do, visit "www. howstuffworks..." and search for "kidney".
Not all amount of water in blood is immediately sent to the kidneys. It circulates through the body, until enough "disposal" water in the blood is collected to be released in kidneys. Then it goes to the blood filtration part inside the kidney, where blood elements remain in blood stream, and water with impurities is expelled from the blood stream. That "waste water" is collected in bladder, until enough amount is collected to be economically released, through urethra.
This answer and many other things about body water YOu will find in the site menitioned above.

Just as a shot of liquor does. Down your throat, immediately leaking out of the stomach, through the duodenum, into the kidney for filtration before entering the blood stream. This happens in seconds. The digestive tract is a mucus membrane. T he presence of water is indicative of digestive issues. Since the body has no way of discerning one water thin liquid from another, use alcohol to trace the path of water in the body. It seems clear that alcohol is not absorbed the the digestive tract. If it were, you would test poop for toxicity. Also, if water is most naturally absorbed through the intestinal wall, why doesn t the hospital start an enema instead of an IV? To believe that the clean, fresh water that you drink takes a trip through your crappy colon before being carried through your vital organs, is absolutely insane.

...Don't listen to Alice. Vampires do have blood running through their veins as long as they feed. There is proof of this because, in order to become a vampire, one has to undergo the Embrace, which involves a vampire drinking a small portion of your blood and then feeding it back to you. Oftentimes, when a vampire feeds, they will suck you almost, if not completely, dry of any blood you have, in order to sustain themselves for a longer time than normal. Also, to counter Alice's point, in traditional mythology, a vampire is not pale and gaunt. They were dark, bloated creatures, because they were dead for a long time before rising to life. It would be as if you took a dead body from a grave after it had been allowed to sit if you had a way to preserve it for a long time.

most of water is absorbed from stomach into bloodstream, it does not go to intestine. and the kidneys filter the blood for unwanted stuff, so urine is created from blood, not from the contents of intestine, ok?
