How does your body handle drinking large volumes of water?

Since you body can only adsorb water at a certain rate, chugging water if you are dehydrated does little good.

I mean, some of it is stored in the stomach, but oftentimes you will need to urinate soon after drinking late amounts of water.

How does the excess water get transferred to the bladders quickly if it isn’t adsorbed by the body?

It’s first absorbed through the small intestine and stomach and used for energy synthesis and universal hydration. excess water is excreted with metabolic waste through the kidneys and then bladder. Unlike solid matter, the time necessary to process the water is significantly less than food so your bladder will start to fill within minutes once your body’s determined it can no longer absorb anymore
