I had recently started a diet where I was drinking a lot more water than normal (the diet called for my body weight in oz. of water each day, so that was 150 oz/day for me). Of course, I was peeing a lot more than normal, as well. Over time, it occurred to me that I was probably way over-straining my bladder. It got to the point where when I needed to pee, it actually HURT, like a muscle ache.

So I cut my water intake to 70 oz, which is more than half my body weight in oz, and also more than the regularly recommended 64 oz, but not enough to give me bladder aches.

I don't know what this means or how it pertains to this thread, just thought I'd let you all know.
