The amount of water is not important, it depends on the stimulation of the bladder. As the bladder streches it sends signals to the brain which decides whether to void urine or not. In the fit and healthy young this could be up to and over one litre. If there is infection present or if the bladder is diseased (e.g. cancer, after stroke) it may tell the brain to void with only small amounts present i.e. 50-100 mls.
