8 pints?!?! Nobody needs that much!
I would say your body utilises it in whatever way it needs it. Eg- first thing in the morning your wee will be darker because you will be slightly dehydrated from sleep without food or drink. So your body will take the water and use it in building cells etc. General maintenance. If you are well hydrated and don't need it as much, I imagine it would leave the body faster. Just a guess though.

it takes about an an hour to reach your bladder . When you go for a baby scan they tell you to drink a pint of water an hour before hand.
