The relative amount of salts and water in our body must be regulated and kept steady.
Our kidneys adjust the amount of salt and water in our body.
Too much salt or not enough water makes us feel thirsty and we drink.
Too much water for the amount of salt inside us and our kidneys dump the water into urine.
The most variable process affecting the salt/water balance (apart from eating and drinking) is sweating. If we lose a lot of water as we sweat a lot during hot weather then there is less water put into urine. When we don't sweat much the extra water is lost in urine.
The habit of eating salted crisps and peanuts developed from a marketing idea in pubs. Provide free crisp and peanuts on the bar and customers eat lots of salt. This makes us feel thirsty so we buy more drinks.

The cold makes your insides contract, and your bladder does a really good job.

when it is warm, those fluids are absorbed by the body for temperature conrol and rehydration. The body also uses more energy to warm up colder drinks and foods before it can digest them.
In the winter, we tend to wrap up warm and have hot food and drinks. And we need less liquid becasue it isnt wasted...
