Why Is My Urine Clear?

By the way . . . you guys are aware that “clear” and “colorless” are not the same thing, right? (Chemistry 101)

DingDingDing! You contradict yourself here … coffee is a diuretic. But you almost certainly have nothing to worry about, drinking somewhat above normal amounts of water-based drinks won’t cause you any medical problem, as long as your diet is reasonably healthy.

Actually, coffee is not a diuretic. That’s been disproven. People think it is because of the water in it; you overload on water and it seems like a diuretic. When people drank equal amounts of coffee vs. other liquids, there was negligible difference in urine output.

But the coffee could easily explain the OP.

Finally somebody noticed!

If your urine isn’t clear then you DO have a problem, regardless of whether it is colourless.

Me, I’m wondering how Si Amigo could possibly have urine that was below body temperature. I can’t think of any conceivable biological mechanism that would cool it, in humans or any other creature.

I bet zombies have urine that’s below body temperature, at least below normal human body temperature.

This myth won’t seem to die.

Although I think current wisdom is that caffeine is possibly a mild diuretic in those who do not regularly ingest caffeine, but the body builds up a tolerance to consistent exposure and any diuretic effect is negated.
