Hydration issues
A prune asks
My life is a never ending battle with hydration. Drink tea, must drink water. Drink alcohol, must drink water. Don’t drink anything, must drink water. Eat food, must drink water. Drink water, urinate copiously.
Is there a scientific method whereby I can calculate the precise quantity of water I require, given my body mass and other food and liquid intakes, to reduce my number of visits to the toilet yet maintain optimal hydration?

Yes! reduce the amount of water you drink. If you are not eating an excess of salt the body should cope happily only about 1.5litres. If you are doing exercise, working in an air conditioned building or in a hot country that amount increases significantly.
Yellow piss is not a bad thing. Dark orange is, as is anything darker still! Clear pee is a sign that you are prob drinking an excess of water but this will not do you any harm other than having to go to the bathroom a lot. It could also be a sign that you have too little protein and vege in your diet but in reality this site is not the place for us to offer solutions. Instead take some of your own solution to the doctor to get it checked
