How long after drinking a glass of water does it reach the bladder?

Unanswerable: That all depends on the state of the health of a person, their kidney functions, what else is in their system or GI tract and the state of their hydration. This is a bit of an odd question. I would be curious to know why you asked this question.

Within minutes: The intravascular volume and sodium concentrations are monitored closely by the brain. Once excess volume is detected, antidiuretic hormone (ADH) secretion is inhibited to allow for excess (free) water to be promptly excreted. This is why you have to void after drinking a cup of coffee. You don't need the volume, so you dump it.
