That brings back memories of when I was having a lesson in a glider about half a century ago, and needed to get rid of some beer from the night before. The instructor passed me a length of clear plastic tubing to relieve myself, which I did. Where does this all go I inquired, does this glider have a holding tank of something? Nah! he replied, just don't make yourself known to the woman down there who's hanging her washing out.

We can jest but you must keep your water intake up and not get dehydrated or you'll be seeing double and worse.

   Most likely even from a low height it would evaporate before it reaches the  ground. Most aircraft have a lower pressure in the cabin  than ambient , so it's  a matter of getting your own back. if you vent to outside without something like a venturi to guarantee successful disposal. It's not legal to dump something from a plane except fuel in an emergency. Nev
