Paula,

I find that if I drink straight water, then I don't need to go to the loo as frequent as when I mix my drinks (ie glass of water, cup of decafe tea etc). Also tea and coffee are diurectices (spelling?) - which makes you need to go to the loo more often.... but even if I drink a glass of juice and then a glass of water, I still need to go more frequently... also when I first started to drink a lot of water, I need to go more often - maybe it is the body flushing all the yucky stuff out of your system.. ie more water in more water out.

sorry if TMI..

I carry around a 750ml bottle and I know I have to drink 3 a day (and a few glasses here and there).. once I've done my three, then I don't have to drink water anymore - except when I have done physical exercise - then I have to add another bottle (sigh!)...
