And someone asked me, if you drank just enough liquids so as to keep your body healthy, but JUST enough, would you still have to pee?
I would love it if you could answer both questions.

if you drank just enough liquids to stay healthy, you would still have to pee. Your kidneys are the organs that make urine. Urine comes from your blood. Your blood filters through your kidneys, and your kidneys removes all of the bad stuff and puts it into urine to be excreted. Alot of medications people take are also excreted in urine. If they were not taken out of the body this way they could reach toxic levels. And if you didn't pee, your bladder could rupture meaning you would be at risk for an infection in your abdomen and need major surgery, i suppose you could die. This has happened with patients who are under anesthesia for surgery. The anesthesia causes your bladder to not function correctly, and as a result you can't pee. So peoples bladders have ruptured. Thats why they usually put a cathetar in surgery patients now.

Would you die if you didn't pee? No... lol I think you would lose control of your bladder and pee in your pants
And someone asked me, if you drank just enough liquids so as to keep your body healthy, but JUST enough, would you still have to pee? No urine is more than just intaken fluids... it's also has bacterial waste in it... hence holding your pee equals urinary tract infections. Let's put it this way, you cannot drink enough liquids to stay healthy without peeing.

Sorry but I have to award you with the "silly question award of the day". I think it is a impossibilty not to pee, it would eventually just come out. Even if you could hold it back, your bladder would burst. So yes you would die.

Yes of course you would die if you didn't pee. Why do you think they have invented dialysis machines to do the work for people who can't!
Yes you would still have to pee. Water is a natural flushing mechanism. It is designed to rid the body of any impurities!

its the filtration system for your body, you would die of toxemia.
other body fluids use water as well- like sweat.
Water is good for you and your bladder needs to be used, so why is someone "not" wanting to pee? That's kinda odd, don't you think?
If it hurts they need to see a doctor, that is an indicator of infection or worse.

Yes - you would suffer all sorts of organ failures too.
Urinating is one of the body's ways to flush out toxins if you didn't drink enough fluid to cause urination you would have all sorts of problems.
Kidney failure for one.
You cannot keep the body healthy if you are not urinating.
