Are you just perpetually dehydrated?
No. Your body doesn't need a gallon of water every other second. Excess fluids are pointless because your body just pees it out, because it can't process it.
Not to mention too much water can kill you.
People think if you're not peeing 2 times per hour, you're unhealthy. I get CBC + other labs blood work done weekly and I'm perfectly hydrated.
Not to mention if you're going on a long road trip, it's okay to consume less fluids. You won't die.
I drink an absolute ton of water all the time, but I almost never have to go more than every 4-6 hours, if not longer. It's not like I'm holding it either, there's just no pressure to go for at least that long. I normally have 40oz water bottles that I refill at least a few times per day.
