I'd like to submit to Bad Science my teacher who gave us a handout which says that 'Water is best absorbed by the body when provided in frequent small amounts.' What I want to know is this. If I drink too much in one go, will it leak out off my arsehole instead? Thank you. Anton.

Summary

The quote suggests that water is better absorbed by the body when consumed in small, frequent amounts, which means sipping water throughout the day is more effective than drinking a large amount all at once. The question posed by Anton, while humorous, seems to inquire whether excessive water intake will lead to uncontrollable excretion. However, the quote itself does not address this specific scenario. The optimal absorption of water in small quantities throughout the day is recommended for hydrating the body efficiently.
