endless drink/pee cycle?

Question

If a guy drank water really slowly continuously, and then waited until he had to pee and kept drinking really really slowly, and then peed again, still drinking, could he eventually create and endless cycle of drinking/peeing?

Answer 1

Hmm, that's an interesting question. I think the better way to regulate input would be with an IV drip. Off-hand, I would say it's impossible, as your body would have to be providing urine to the bladder at the exact rate at which you lose urine while urinating, otherwise your bladder would eventually empty.

Answer 2

I believe your body would start retaining the fluids, what goes in must come out does not always apply. Your kidneys are responsible for processing and filtering fluids in. Their ability to function would be compromised in that situation and eventually they shut down. Then the body cannot make urine. However other bodily systems would be compromised as well during the retention of fluids caused by kidney shut down and continual drinking. Eventually your body would become isotonic and fluid would come out of every orifice, but you would not have the muscle control to continue drinking. So no.

Answer 3

Interesting theory, but No. It takes time for the body to process the fluids, therefore there would be a lapse in the "action" every so often.

Answer 4

Yup! If you can continue drinking. I said "IF".
What goes in must come out. Or most of it.
