Color of your urine shows whether you are drinking enough or are sick. A person with a healthy bladder empties it approximately six to eight times per day.

The human bladder holds around one liter of urine, and the urge to urinate starts at around 300 to 400 milliliters. If your urine is very dark yellow upon closer inspection, this could mean: You should drink something now, preferably water - two to three liters throughout the day is recommended for adults. If the urine color lasts longer than one to two days, contact your doctor so that he or she can check your liver.
