Let review, drinking: In reviewing your symptoms I would need to ask a few more questions? Are you thristy all the time? Do you feel hungry when you shouldn't. Is there a family history of Diabetes in your family? Do you have any behavioral issues? Do you crave sweets? Any weight loss? Do you wake up frequently in the night to urinate? Are you taking any medicines that could cause urinary retention? Any dysuria? What

It could: if there was caffeine in the sodas- which is a diuretic and makes you go to the bathroom- it could cause chronic frequent urination. The same could happen from drinking too much tea or coffee or other beverages containing caffeine ( mountain dew) Check to see if your soda contains caffeine- If not- see your physician for additional info about your condition.

2 liters of soda: What do you mean by "chronic frequent urination"? Is your urine dark, concentrated, or light, dilute? If you drink too much, your urine should be light drinking two liters of fluid/day is that abnormal especially in warm climates. Other things ingested contain water, fruits and soups, for example. If you are not feeling weak nor losing weight, you probably have nothing to worry about.
