He did indeed.
Once you break the seal, as it were, you pee out the processed beer just about as fast as you put it in. It's the only way those so inclined can put away 15 pints in an evening.

After a blood test showed risk of kidney failure due to back-up I now self catheterise. Usually only once at night but using a bottle is more awkward. The in-situ catheter I had to start with was too uncomfortable for long cycling trips. One option is a catheter leg bag which avoids spillage but I find it a bit dificult to know when I have finished.
Sheath catheters (like condoms) are available which when combined with a leg bag could be a solution for all males.
I would not recommend using a bottle less than 750ml as I measure my output and although 400ml is the average I have frequently manage 600 and my record is 800!
Small tents where you can't kneel up make life awkward.

Thanks for the tip off. I have just ordered two for the car as I would not feel safe using motorway service stations or any public toilets.
