Only urinated 3 times today, is this bad?

Drinking enough?: Hi. We don't know when in the day you wrote this, but if you're drinking when you're thirsty, you're probably OK. If your thirst mechanism is intact (that's a hypothalamic function) and have access to water, you won't get dehydrated. Drink enough to keep your urine light in color. Cheers!

Depends: If the volume is large and you don't have symptoms, it would be fine. However this does suggest that you may be holding your bladder too long and may predispose you to urinary tract infection.

No, not necessarily: Probably normal - this depends on the volume of how much you urinated, whether you are sick, whether you are dehydrated, etc. You probably are just relatively dehydrated and need to drink more water (avoid caffeinated and sugary drinks). Do you have any bladder or kidney pain? If so, then go get a urine test done. But you are probably just relatively dehydrated
