well, if there's no water, the water level goes up from zero, surely
so we can establish that

thought experiment:
picture a filled, tied-up water balloon in a filled swimming pool
if the water balloon pops, what happens to the water level of the pool?
it definitely doesn't go up, you're not adding anything
it either stays the same... OR
if I may,
if there was an air bubble in the water balloon, it would escape and the water level would actually go down

When you pee your bladder shrinking doesn't make you smaller

of course it does, matter is leaving your body
not by a significant amount, but matter leaving your body leaves less matter in your body

another factor to consider is temperature
one of the things that makes water unique as a chemical is that it expands in volume as it cools, and we need to consider the possibility of a cold bath meeting a hot piss
