Raw: Sandy throws roller coaster into the ocean. In New Jersey, superstorm Sandy destroyed several blocks of Atlantic City's world-famous boardwalk and wrecked several other boardwalks up and down the coast.
The bladder can hold anywhere between twelve and twenty ounces of fluid, depending on the age of the person. Bladder capacity tends to decrease with age and leads to an increased frequency of urination.
How often you pass urine depends on how much urine is produced as well as how much urine the bladder will hold. If you drink 1.5 litres a day and your bladder normally holds 400 millilitres (ml), then you will empty your bladder approximately four times that day. A bladder that holds only 100 ml results in passing urine 15 times. If you drink twice as much, you will need to empty your bladder twice as frequently. Normal frequency of voiding is up to seven times a day or not more than every two hours. In young women, the bladder normally holds 400 to 600 ml and is usually emptied when holding 250 to 400 ml. As people age, their bladder capacity tends to decrease, leading to increased frequency of micturition (voiding), especially at night.
