My friends and I are pretty much the same in height/weight. We ran a test by drinking 2.5 liters of water each, in a 24 hour period; no caffeine, similar amounts of food, no exercise.
I ended up going to the bathroom once every 10-15 minutes over the course of about 8 hours in what equated to roughly the same amount I drank (don't ask).
My other friend went to the bathroom 3 times.
One friend went to the bathroom ONCE the entire day, and it equated to maybe one glass.
I have been tested more than once for all types of diabetes, thyroid disorder, etc. etc. and they all came up negative. So the real question is...why?

You may have diabetes and thus will pee very often. Check with your doctor and have a blood test and/or urine test.
If it is a question of intake of liquids, then the size of your bladder, comes into play. Some can hold only 300 ml. and will pee every 2 hours through the day and about 4 hours or once at night with a bursting bladder in the a.m. Others hold a normal 500-600 ml and will go about every 3-4 hours and not at night. Those with megabladders hold anywhere from 800 ml to 1500 ml (a
quart and a half). They will go about 8 hours (3 X a day) or every 12 hours (twice a day.). Some will only go once, a.m. upon waking up, or at bedtime only.

Hey! DOnt even worry about frequent bathroom trips you guys all might be the same height and weight but your bladders can be different and if you drink alot of water (which is good for you lol) Then you will have to go to the bathroom more its no problem at all when you drink water it get filtered throughout your body and freuquent trips means your body is really healthy

every single human on earth is different.. Your kidneys work differently..
The body you now have is a result of your past habits, how you ate, how you exercised your nutritional intake, all contributed to how your body efficiently or not runs today.... One might be slightly more dehydrated than another, maybe one can hold pee in more than another, your kidneys, and bladders might work differently, your thyroid might be giving different amounts of hormones at different times of days.... More might have more muscle mass vs fat mass or more bone mass.. even though weight might be similar.. there are a zillion reasons behind this..

different metabolisms, how much you drank before the test, amount that you normally sweat differs, size of your bladder, if any of you have any prostate problems...etc..
