Just a random thought. College students are chronically short on sleep, and I know from past experience that it's not uncommon for them to pound cups of coffee or energy drinks to become alert for their first class. Surely all that caffeinated liquid must make itself known during class. I can recall some hurried exits during or immediately after a morning class. Does anyone have any stories to tell along that line?

I remember reposting such a story in the SI section, which resulted in a partial wetting. It was written by one luke468.

I’ve seen this loads of times, done it myself a few too.
There’s an account in the SI section I wrote about a friend who was desperate after an exam.
Seen and done it several times after long exams, and long lectures (medical student lectures seem particularly bad for this

).
I can remember a time at Uni when I was meeting someone after a lecture, I was waiting in the cafe nearby, and decided to go for a leak. As I was in the gents the lectures all turned out, there must have been a few hundred students coming out of a series of morning lectures.
Into the gents many of them poured, and it was at that moment that I realised why there was such a large toilet there (with circa 40 plus spaces at 4 huge trough urinals). It was to accommodate the 10-20% of students, who, after a 3 hour lecture were dying for a slash!

@Def123 Did you mean
this account about your friend who was desperate after the exam? It's actually here in General&Open so everyone can see it.
