Our first question : Why do I have to pee so badly after drinking coffee?

Interesting question, and thank you for being the first :)

The reason why you have an increased need to urinate after drinking coffee is because you have effectively “diuresed” yourself!

Coffee is a diuretic, meaning that it promotes the function of your kidneys to increase the extraction of water from your bloodstream.

So the next time you’re about to have your fifth cup of joe while on that road trip… now you’ll know why you’ve had to make so many pit stops.
