Or in other words..
Two Towers, Without Leaving Your Seat To Drain Your Bladder.
- Visit the restroom during the latter part of the half-hour commercial/preview period, just before the movie starts.
- Do not drink diuretics, such as coffee or tea, three hours prior to the movie, and definitely not during the movie.
- Do not maintain your urine at a low specific gravity by drinking large quantities of water before or during the movie. In fact, it is wise to reduce your intake of all beverages during the movie.
- Eat salty popcorn during the movie. If it makes you thirsty, suck on some candy mints. As the salt content of extracellular fluids in the blood and kidneys goes up, so does the osmotic concentration and specific gravity of these fluids. Special sensors in the brain sense this change in salt concentration and stimulate the pituitary to secrete antidiuretic hormone (ADH). ADH is carried to the kidneys in the blood where it stimulates cells in the posterior convoluted tubules and the collecting ducts to reabsorb more water. In addition to returning more water to the blood, ADH also reduces sweating and causes constriction of arterioles. ADH is also referred to as vasopressin because it increases the blood pressure. These homeostatic actions of ADH result in decreased water loss and more concentrated urine. Consequently, your bladder does not fill as rapidly.
- Wear waterproof undergarments.
Enjoy :)
