Why does coffee and mountain dew make me pee so much???
I must pee like 6 times in an 8 hour period and I only drink 2 cups of coffee and 1 mountain dew? Why do I pee some much?
Answers:
Because the caffeine in the drinks actually dehydrates you. it make you pee more because it's taking water out of your body with it.
I have actually noticed this myself. I think it might have something to do with the amounts of caffeine in them. I can sometimes drink about two liters (half a gallon) of water and I only have to go twice, maybe three times all day. But when I drink a can of Jolt Cola (2x caffeine soda, 24 oz can) I really have to relieve myself in about an hour, and several times afterwards. I don't know the actual scientific reason, but I'd bet it has to do with caffeine content somehow.
caffeine is a diuretic
