Does coffee dehydrate you if you drink a lot? Why?!


Question:

Does coffee dehydrate you if you drink a lot? Why?


Answers:
There was just a story on Yahoo about it. It doesn't dehydrate you over the course of a few hours. They study showed that you go more often initially after drinking coffee, but you go less later. They looked at 3 groups. One group drank coffee continuously, one drank and stopped and the last didn't drink coffee at all. A few hours later, their level of dehydration were all similar. Your body regulates it.
