A member asked:
How many minutes does it take for you to urinate the water that you drink?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Minutes not hours: The time required for the water to be absorbed in the gut. Then the water circulates in the blood stream and is filtered by the kidney. It takes minutes not hours.

Depends on hydration: Can be within minutes if ur well or overhydrated. Might take many hours if ur dehydrated. 1 - 4 hours with normal hydration. Times will be less if u have also consumed anything that has a diuretic effect such as caffeine.
