I dunno, after I quick search of the capacity of an average bladder I saw numbers varying from 0.4-1 litres. The amount of urine once can hold depends. So the answer for now is maybe.
You'll probably need to do some more research yourself.
No, it is impossible. The human bladder can only hold 2 cups of urine when completely full, one liter is roughly 4 cups.
I simply observed numbers ranging from 0.4 to 1 litres. Observed, not claimed. I'm not so sure what to believe exactly, so I stated what I saw. Hmm.. I should measure the amount of urine I release, the next time I do so.
I apologize if you thought I was referring to you. You ninja'd me, I was typing when you were typing.

Ah, I have to note that more of the sources I have drawn upon states 16 ounces, though others have put in more, or less so it varies really. That's also only once source, it'd help to have a few more.
I don't have links for the rest, but I have references.
Magill's Medical Guide Volume III. Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Salem, 1998.
Says your bladder forces urination at 240 milliliters
The bladder is a hollow muscular organ shaped like a balloon. It sits in your pelvis and is held in place by ligaments attached to other organs and the pelvic bones. The bladder stores urine until you are ready to go to the bathroom to empty it. It swells into a round shape when it is full and gets smaller when empty. If the urinary system is healthy, the bladder can hold up to 16 ounces (2 cups) of urine
From a site all about your urinary tract, mostly kidneys, a friend copy and pasted it, to help me with my information getting.
Medical wisdom the books don't necessarily tell you: a single figure without range is always wrong. Standard variation applies to all measured parameters of the human body. This is about half of why we have such a thing as the Guinness Book of World Records.
Furthermore even if taken as an average, that book's figures are a bit on the conservative side. That's more the quoted figure for an average healthy adult female, whereas a male would typically hold about a cup more than that.
Anecdotally speaking I've been stranded without a restroom in sight (think 4 hour bus trip after drinking way too much tea), and ended up filling 1 1/2 650ml bottles, which is approximately a liter. I'm pretty confident that is as far as my bladder would go, any further and I'd probably herniate it!
Without stretching (har har) the records though, there are circumstances where the bladder can hold far more than normal: urinary retention usually due to some problem with the urethral sphincters. Volumes of up to 3L have been recorded after patients present with intense abdominal discomfort and not being able to urinate properly for a long time... but to get that the patient would have to be catheterised. And no, that doesn't make for a healthy bladder at all!

I didn't read the book, my friend gave me the reference. ._. I didn't really research that, except for that first link. So I'm definately not gonna argue with...er, first hand experiences o.o
