Also, about how long does the process take?
In: Biology
drinking -> stomach -> intestines -> blood -> kidneys -> bladder -> peeing
Water is inert, nothing really happens to it, it just goes through you and everything else is suspended in it. Also, it’s pretty difficult to define how long the process takes as your blood (and body in general) is a large water reservoir and the ‘specific’ water you just ingested might be partly excreted through the kidneys rapidly or stay in your body for a bit while ‘other/older’ water is excreted. How fast the kidneys excrete water also depends on how much you drank as they work to keep your blood pressure relatively stable by managing the amount of water in your blood, but it is a constantly working process.
