How long can a person go without eating?

My wife and I are having problems and because I am so upset I am not eating. I haven't ate anything since saturday, and don't feel like eating. I have drank a lot of water though, I am wondering how long a person could go with just drinking water.

How do I get rid of phlegm in my throat?

I work in a call centre and for the last month, I've noticed (probably because I've been talking constantly) that I have a consistent buildup of phlegm in my throat and that I'm coughing every twenty minutes or so in an attempt to clear it - often in the middle of a call. I'm not a smoker, and I drink a lot of water - I'll go through at least 2L in a day. It's starting to annoy my co-workers, understandably, and it's also causing my voice to crack and waver on the phone. I don't feel sick and when I am able to cough phlegm up (which isn't often - it feels constantly stuck in there) it's clear, which would suggest that it isn't a sinus or bronchial infection. I never drink soda, generally avoid sugary food, and never drink milk as I'm lactose intolerant. So what the heck is going on? And more importantly, how do I fix it?

How is stomach connected to the bladder?

When I drink a lot of water, it goes down to the stomach and then subsequently into the bladder causing me to use the restroom. How does this happen? Does the water get absorbed in the large intestine first before getting to the urinary system? If so, then how does liquids get there so quickly while food takes a lot longer?

I HAD to ask this question again since I did not get a decent answer I was looking for.
So you're saying that when the liquid gets absorbed from the intestines the liquid can go to the kidney through other system, right?

Please help me with my teenage acne?

I am 15 years old and suffer from acne. My mom says its not bad, but i have the worst skin out of all my friends. I always cry and hate myself when i look in the mirror because of my acne!

I have tried wearing makeup, not wearing makeup, prescriptions, kits (acne free, neutrogena, proactiv etc.). I drink a lot of water and excersise. My mom works at a health food store so I eat LOTS (too many in my opinion) of veggies and fruits.

I ALWAYS take care of my skin. This meaning I wash my face morning and night with a cleanser, tone morning and night, moisturize morning and night, use spot treatments at night, and use a mild exfoliant every-other day. But whatever I do, my skin always has ACNE!!!!

My skin is oily, but can easily get dried out if I use a lot of acne medication on it. So I would say my skin is combination. Though acne is bad, my acne scars are worse!! I don't "pop" my pimples (instead I exfoliate and put spot medication on them, they usually pop by themselves). But I am left with red dots/discoloration all over my face. Powder wont cover them up so I usually have to wear concealer and foundation (I've tried not wearing makeup, but I still get acne so makeup isn't whats causing it).

I got prescriptions that kill the bacteria, and dry out my skin but NOTHING works!!! I'm so embarassed by my acne that I wont even let my best friends and my own PARENTS see me without my acne covered up.

I'm just a teenager who wants clear skin like my friends. I'm not asking to have PERFECT skin like models on tv or in magazines. I just want to be able to NOT wear makeup and still feel beautiful and confident.

If you have ANY suggestions on products, makeup, treatments, or just tips about curing acne please share! All answers are GREATLY appreciated. thanks =]

I'm using Neutrogena gentle exfoliant 1ce a day, SFC lotion once a day, and DuAc once a day (prescription).
