GTA VI players warned to take bathroom breaks during 80-hour campaign
A plumbing firm warns of urinary tract infection and bladder damage risks from skipping bathroom breaks.
Grand Theft Auto VI launches November 19 and players face an unexpected health hazard. A plumbing firm calculated that completing the 80-hour campaign requires up to 35 bathroom breaks.
Health experts warn that holding urine for long periods raises infection risk and can weaken bladder muscles. Dehydration, another risk from marathon sessions, also harms focus and gaming performance.
Employment data shows a 29% spike in annual leave bookings for launch day, driven by men aged 18 to 44. The good news for employers is that people are booking ahead rather than calling in sick.
