The bottom line is that this happens because you aren’t fully emptying your bladder; there's always some residual fluid left behind.
You really ought to go see a doctor—specifically a urologist. This is a common issue among older folks, but you shouldn't ignore it.
Sure, there are all sorts of herbal teas and remedies out there that act as diuretics, but your first move should always be seeing a specialist, especially if you're on the younger side.
Generally speaking, the standard advice is to aim for about two liters of fluid a day, and water is by far your best bet. Avoid the sugary juices, and definitely stay away from anything carbonated.
