Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, but I need some advice. Tomorrow at 16:00 I need to pee into a cup at the doctor's office for a drug test and I am a very shy pee-er. Should I hold my morning pee from 8:00 to 16:00 to make sure I have enough of it or should I pee as soon as I wake up and drink water throughout the day and hope I have enough? Thank you all.

    I've never had someone watch me pee at a doctor's office for a drug test. They put you in a bathroom with some special chemical dye in the water and tell you that you cannot flush or it voids the test. They also provide water. If you are concerned, I would drink 45 minutes and 30 minutes ahead about 2 cups of water each time. Then when you get there you should be fine.

    How often do you normally pee? Why not just drink a lot of water? Generally IME if I drink a lot of water I'll urgently need to pee an hour later. Holding your pee for 8 hours sounds terrible to me.

    The couple of times I had to do this I was in a bathroom stall by myself, and I had to put the jar through a little hatch in the wall. There was one of those little liquid crystal fishtank thermometers on the jar, and I couldn't flush the toilet, but beyond that nothing crazy. I don't think you get actively meatgazed unless it's the military or the test is for something really serious.
