    Golden shower?

    Ok, so i drink 2+ gallons of water a day so natually my piss is clear. But when I wake up in the morning it is always gold again. Does your body dehydrate that much over night?

    I believe all the water is absorbed over night, its always been that way for me as well.

    I was always told that clear piss means youre hydrated and yellow piss means you arent. I could be wrong but thats what i have heard since middle school.

    The morning urine is always concentrated and has a stronger smell and a thicker color to it. When you have cartain tests done, you need to provide the first morning's urine because it has everything in higher concentrations. Nothing to worry about. You've just gone the longest period of time without eating or drinking.

    When i am hungover, my piss IS yeloow. While i am actually drinking it is clear. I just started taking a multivitamin 6 days ago, but i havent noticed any change during the day in the color. Its just always yellow when i wake up

    While you are drinking, you are pulling fluid out of your body. Alcohol is a diuretic. After drinking and when you are hungover, you are dehydrated, because of the alcohol pulling fluid out of your body. When you produce urine at that time, it is very concentrated and takes on a yellowish color.

    Urine washes out the toxins in your body that are left over from your liver and kidneys. Just because you are asleep does not mean this process stops. The residual toxins are stored in your urinary tract and bladder until you urinate again in the morning. If you got up every hour and drank some water(which is stupid) then it would still be clear every time you urinate just like during the daytime. Everything is fine as long as your urine is clear all day long.

    Exactly my thoughts when the marine corp tells u to hydrate the next day for a 12 mile Hump.... ....if you don't the corpmen will stick u with the silver bullet.

    Chugg away!

    That's normal and a "Good Thing (tm)". During sleep your body is in a regenerative state. Kidneys will filter your blood several dozen times, removing waste products, i.e. dead red blood cells, excess sodium and potassium.

    As an experiment weight yourself before sleeping and immediately after waking. You'll loose max 2 lbs (unless your sweating all night).
