We all know that what goes in must come out. It is always important to limit your liquid intake for a good period of time when planning to go tubing.
Caffeine and alcohol both act as dieuretics to the urinary system. Not only do they constrict the bladder but they also contract the urethera. Resulting in more frequent needs to urinate.
Certain medications can also have this effect. Blood thinners, heart meds, kidney meds, as well as excessive doses of vitamin A can result in similar spontaneous reactivitiy.
When your life depends on certain meds or other liquids, the your tubing experience will be better in the warmer months when waders aren't required. You can relieve yourself with discretion and still maintain your dignity.
If non of the above liquids or meds apply to you, just limit your water or juice (especially cranberry, apricot, and peach) to 2 hours before tubing.[cool]
By the way, we would like to see you on the float tubing forum as well. Its for all the members from all over the world.[
