Any tips? Always an issue at big gigs/festivals, when you need a piss every half an hour when you've got a good spot in the crowd. I drink lager, which is obviously the problem, and I'm not a massive fan of spirits.
I've been getting into strawberry/pear/general cider lately, how does that do on the ode bladder front?

It's not beer which is the diarrhetic, it's alcohol - varying the quantity you drink is the only way to stop it!

Gonna have to do my business in a cup and throw it then!
I jest. I will try and control the amount I drink. I will fail.

I think you've answered your own question. You can't drink lager and somehow expect to keep it in a small bag inside you.

Plenty of urinals everywhere. Even near the Stone Circle this year.
I thought this thread was going to be about people being so excited that it's all starting tomorrow that they were having trouble controlling their bladders!

I switch to a decanted wine box at about 9pm after a day on the beer. It still takes a couple of waz's to run the beer through but the wine slows up the rate hugely which means i can then last out until the headliner has finished.
It's all in the planning.......

Reduce the volume of liquid that you're drinking when you're in a big crowd. Might sound obvious but there's no getting away from the fact that your bladder has a limited capacity & when it's full you need to go.

I've often wondered if there's a market for trousers with a piss reservoir sewn into the lining. Add a tube and some kind of 'attachment' at the top, a little tap at the bottom; problem solved surely?
That's me sorted for Dragon's Den then.
No?

My friends are often jealous of my bladder, I can drink over 2 litres and not need the toilet

I've been training my bladder for the last 6 months. I can now drink 1/3 of a pint without going to the bathroom.

I had a catheter last year but I don't recommend that to anybody or even my worst enemy.
Do lots of dancing. Usually dose the trick.

I recently had an open appendectomy, and subsequently my bladder capacity is severely reduced.
Glastonbury might be a bit of a nightmare on the weeing front
