Generally us men get a clear run at the toilets, with minimal queuing.

You seem kind of knowledgeable on this subject so I've got a question for ya.

What happens exactly when you burst the seal? Cause I can hold off for ages, but once I pop I just can't stop - I'm at the pisser 3 times an hour.

Alchohol is a diuretic. It encourages the body to excrete ( sorry SA ) water i.e. makes you pee. Without alchohol normal people only need to pee 2-3 times a day on avaerage.

When you start drinking everything is normal and it takes a while for the alchohol to get into your system. Once it hits the bloodstream the diuretic affect kicks in and you bladder begins to fill. If it was empty to start this takes a while.

Once your bladder becomes full you need to go take a piss. However by this time the alchohol levels in your blood are going up and the diuretic effect is getting stronger, so your body is excreting ( sorry SA ) more water, faster. This means the bladder fills quicker and you need to piss more often as the night goes on and you continue drinking.

The upshot is that the more you drink the more, and more frequently, you need to pee. The end result is dehydration which causes some of the major hangover symptoms such as dryness in the mouth and eyes and the headache.

It depnds how much fluid you drink. Caffeine in Tea and coffee are diuretics as well. Excessive urination can also be a sign of diabetes in men and women or prostate problems in men.

You're Irish, you drink gallons of tea. Tea contains Caffeine. Caffeine is also a diuretic!

Getting most of that, apart from the connection between being Irish and peeing
