From what I have seen on medical sites, "average" normal bladder capacity is supposed to be from around 450-600ml. (a close estimate is 30ml = 1 oz)
I am exactly the opposite as far as what makes me "gottago" faster- I drink pepsi from the time I wake up, till the time I crawl in bed late at night- at LEAST a 2 liter or more (depending on what I'm eating/doing, etc) and have done so for about 15 yrs or more. So caffeine really does nothing to me- either keeping me awake or making me pee.
However, straight WATER goes right thru me. When we have our "bursting" sessions at the pool, all I have to do is drink down a liter of water an hour before, and it shortly makes its way downward. To try to reach desperation drinking just pepsi, it would take many, many hours, no matter how much I drank.
If I'm not TRYING to hold for any particular reason, I usually end up going around the 700-800 ml mark. But if I'm intentionally getting desperate, I usually give in around the 1100-1300ml mark. Max volume so far (measured) is 1370ml. Of course I don't do this every day, and usually for a couple days after a "big" hold like this, my bladder is quite uncooperative, and I end up going when I'm much more in the "normal" range.

Just remember, when you gotta go....DON'T!
