i urinate alot...

Hi Crashhat! I don't drink that much of coffee as you do but I have noticed that after my first morning coffee (in the next 3 hours) I must urinate at least four times! I found that bizarre too, but then I read somewhere that coffee is an irritant to the urinary tract and bladder. It is also a diuretic that aggravates conditions associated with frequent urination. Eliminating coffee and caffeine often relieves symptoms associated with frequent urination due to enlarged prostate glands. It says that in the majority of cases, men can significantly reduce their risk for urinary and prostate problems by making dietary changes which include eliminating coffee and caffeine. So I guess the caffeine causes it. Try not to drink that much coffee and you will see the difference. All the best to you!
