that are not present in coke

I can drink gallons of water...but one glass of Iced tea and I am peeing like a rushing racehorse.

8. Dunno, but why does asparagus make your pee smell?

[Not_Giving_Up]

11. No idea

Haven't been near an asparagus since I was forced to eat them as a child.

16. If I eat food that has been smoked

then my pee has a smoked aroma to it. :wtf: Since I do not think this can be good for you, I try not to eat smoked foods.

13. Insh'Allah... nt

[Lilyhoney]

14. Me too.

I drink lots of the stuff in the morning. I pee so much that I usually wear a skirt and no underware just to make life easier. Forget the overalls. They are also not fun to wear when you are pumping in the vodka and cranberries by the pint.

15. Well, I haven given up clothing over it

My son tends to wake up to pee in the middle of the night. I lose my bra, but rest of stays on.
