So, I literally cannot find anything about this specifically, so im struggling here. Here it is: when i have a drink (currently on the the impant as of 3 days ago) my pee is so dark in color. It's like a pink/dark orange or a dark yellow even if I only have a couple sips. All I can find online is that dark urine could mean that the liver is in danger, so im worried I may have to go in to get it taken out or that I have already caused some serious problems. Yesterday I didnt have this problem when I drank alcohol, so why is my urine suddenly so dark? My urges and buzz/reward from alcohol has diminished already for sure so thats a plus. But im 20, and im about to be 21, and I would like to still drink a little bit just not as much. I literally can't find anything regarding my problem, so it's pretty worrysome. Let me know if you have any idea whats happening. 

Thanks.

    Urine is generally to do with the kidneys, dark urine usually suggests a lack of (non alcoholic) fluid intake.

    I think you can rest assured that you won't have to go in anywhere and have your liver taken out!!

    Like the above post, it's your kidneys which deal with urine. Certain foods like asparagus and beetroot can affect the colour of urine. The length off time between pees can alter the colour. First pee in the morning  is usually darker and more concentrated.

    dehydration muffins...drink alot of fluid today and watch your pee lighten up.

    Staying hydrated...especially after being de-hydrated can be a JOB.

    I know it is scary to see urine that dark...and I know it is HARD to believe that it could just possibly ONLY BE....that you are not taking in enough fluid...but its true...start drinking alot today...and you will feel much better.
