i am sure you can, but it will take awhile.
i remember getting wounded while in the Army, Medivac-d out and being in the hospital.
i had not urinated in a long time and due to the trauma on my body, the Doctor was concerned that my urethea (piss-tube) had ripped away at my prostrate.
i was told to urinate within a half an hour or i would be cathorized (stick a plastic tube in your penis)....
well, it didn't take long and i kicked out 972ml of urine...
anyways,
if you do not pee for a long time, it will back up into your ureters (sp-the tubes that connect your kidneys and bladder) and ultimately give you a gnarley kidney/urinary tract infection.
