Water can be lost from the body in many ways, the most finely controlled of which is urination. The human body urinates about 150ml of water to remove the urea. It doesn't matter how little you drink, at least 150ml will be removed in urine. The control of how much water is lost comes from osmoreceptory in various blood vessels stimulating the release of Anti-Diuretic Hormone (ADH). ADH in turn stimulates more sweat to be reabsorbed in the skin, more water to be reabsorbed in the nephron of the kidneys and a higher intensity of thirst, as well as other thing to save water. Ways Water Is Lost: in urine, in feces, in sweat, in air we breathe out, in vomit, and in external bleeding.

Counter-intuitively, if you have weight-gain due to fluid retention, you need to drink MORE water. This will ease your body out of the emergency mode which was brought on because of chronic thirst.

How does the body regulate body fluid?
Fluid regulation is a balancing act between intake and output of liquids. When the body is in need of additional fluid, you may feel thirsty or get a dry, cottony mouth. Normal intake of fluids would be through drinking liquids and eating food. There is also water released through metabolism as the body breaks down carbohydrates for energy. You lose fluids 4 ways. First there is moisture in the air you breathe out. The faster you breathe more moisture will leave the body. Second, you lose fluid through perspiration when the body is adjusting its core temperature. Even if you don't feel sweaty, there will be some fluid loss through the skin. Third when you have a bowel movement, the feces will contain fluid. The large intestines does function in absorbing or elimination of water. Finally is the main regulator of body fluids -- the kidney. It will maintain the perfect concentration of water in your blood. Too much and you will urinate more often. Not enough water and your urine will become concentrated, you will urinate less often and you may feel thirsty.
