Ok, what the hell? I drink too many beers on the weekends, I piss like a racehorse. At work, I drink a MASSIVE bottle of water that holds 2.2 L (the doctor recomm. daily amount), and I STILL can't hold any fluids in my body for more than about 20 minutes. I feel as if I'm suffering from chronic dehydration.
Any (good) doctors or wannabes in the hizzouse?
Yes, I am pathetically bored at work.
Go to the NOOL chat. 
I'm at the moment the only insomniac in the place.
...yeah, bored too. Only, I'm nowhere near sleepy. And I've only been awake 21 hours straight. :D
What's your salt intake? Body can't absorb any water if you don't have any salt to absorb it.
Try gatorade or similar sports drinks, as they add salt (also commercialized as "electrolytes") to healthy amounts.
another thought, what are your symptoms of dehydrastion?
Headaches, dizziness - lack of water
cramps - lack of salt
Meh, only the headache.
That and the fun thought that, I don't have to work...
...er...
Technically it should be today [Friday] in my end of the country. So, technically, I'm off today. 
Aye, probably not enough electrolytes, but then again, times are tight and water is cheaper than Gatorade 
As far as symptoms, I just wake up massively thirsty from sleeping (moreso now that it gets up to 80 deg. here and I have no A/C in bedroom). TMI WARNING: Plus my piss looks like Labatt Blue, literally, not even close to being clear. Me thinks I need to powerchug water before bed (which I do after a night of boozing).
For every pint i have, it usually includes a trip to the toilet. 10 pints in a night, 10 visits!
If you have a thirst that you can't quench no matter how much water you drink,and it persists,then it's time you had a test for diabeties mate. Good luck.
I probably drink a bit too much at the weekends as well but my er, lager to urine ratio is probably about the same as Steve's. As a rule, I don't generally drink anything stronger than lager except maybe on special occasions.
Hate to say it, but Boatrace could be right... constantly needing the loo and chronic thirst can sometimes be symptoms of diabeties.
I tend to drink water quite alot at work during the day because there's a cooler right outside my door. If I neck a pint or a pint and a half in the space of an hour I'll need the loo regularly for the next 1-2 hours easy but any thirst will definitely be gone for the rest of the day.
Find out what your doctor thinks.
G'luck!
I piss a lot through the night. At least twice a night. Always get straight back to sleep though so no problems. After a lot of bullying by people telling me "you might have diabetes/cancer of the prick/something else terrible" I went to my doc just the other week and got a urine test done. The result? Fuck all wrong with me, I just piss a lot through the night.
What a waste of 90 minutes and one warm cup full of piss that was.

Might as well mention to stop breathing, since lots of sicknesses are spread by breathing
