1/2 Hour Intervals

Not sure if I mentioned this already, but we're having a water drinking contest at work. Our department and Accounting are split into 2 teams. My team is called the "Waterfull Waterbuffalos" or WWBs. The other team is called "Awesomness P's". We're kicking their bladders, so to 'speak'. I personally am a lightweight on the team, averaging 1000 to 1500 ml per day. But some of the other ladies are between 2-3000 ml. I think 2000 a day would be my max, maybe 2500 if I'm exercising or it's hot outside. But, I drink coffee during the morning so don't usually start drinking water until maybe 11 ish, around lunch time. But, because I still want to contribute as much as I can that means I'm drinking all 1000 + ml in approximately 4 hours. So, on top of the 4 + cups of coffee a day which already makes me pee often the high consumption of water is causing myself, and all of the competitors, to pee every half hour or so. I would say, on average, I would normally pee maybe 4 times at work, usually when I get in, mid-morning (after cup #3 of coffee), lunch time, and late afternoon. Now, I pee when I get to work, at least 2-3 times during the morning, at lunch, and several times during the afternoon. Then, there's the last pee before the drive home. At 4:25, en masse, we all hit the washroom during the last 5 minutes. However, since the last 1/2 hour at work is often the crunch time for water consumption my bladder is still...filling...when I make the last pee. So, the last two days have been difficult because I needed to do errands on the way home. Yesterday, I had to clench my thighs together at the coffee shop while I was buying my coffee beans, San Miguel - Dark Roast, and my lips & hands got all tingly. Same thing today when I was getting my pork chops for dinner today. It's tricky. I think moderate water consumption is good but it certainly makes things challenging.
