I am 33 years old and for the last few months I have been drinking all the time and use the bathroom 30 times a day to urinate and if you push on the front of my legs it leaves a dent for a few minutes and I feel worn out all the time any ideas what it might be

These dents, that is called pitting edema and is not normal. This is something that you see in patients who do not have normal venous blood flow back to the heart from the lower extremities. These patients usually have kidney and heart problems.
See your doctor yesterday, my friend.

I hate to say this, but slow down on the drinking? Are you excessively drinking?
But I agree with the others, you need to make a trip to the doctor's. Dents (known also as pitting) on your legs are not a good sign either.
I don't want to scare you but it could be signs of diabetics or even COPD. Get it check out.

I'm not sure what that means, but the fact that your skin leaves a dent when you push on it suggests edema (meaning your skin is retaining water), the fact that you urinated "30" times a day suggests your kidney's are struggling. I'd advice a trip to the doc.

Talk to a doctor. I won't say what you have because I'm not a medical doctor, but I've seen symptoms like that in people with diabetes. So... talk to a doctor, who will send you to a lab for a very simply blood test. (All you have to do is bleed.)
If you really DO have diabetes, it is INCREDIBLY important that you get it under control YESTERDAY.

sounds like diabetes. but i'm no doctor: you REALLY should not rely on Yahoo answers for problems that could potentially be serious. just go to the doctors.
