Your body holds a ton of water, for a 160lb person, assuming that you are around 60%-65% water that means about 96-100(ish) pounds of water or 42-45 liters. About 6 of those are in your circulatory system, which is constantly being filtered through your kidneys to produce urine. There’s tons of beautifully intricate mechanisms balancing intracellular, extracellular and intravascular fluid and electrolyte levels in your body, so if your fluid levels are high enough you can pretty quickly produce a lot of urine.
