Coffee?

eammarx

I have to have my coffee in the morning. I must, its my thing I do to relax and start my day. So I have a little coffee pot that makes 2 cups and I drink the whole thing. Then after that I drink nothing but water the rest of the day.

I drink my 2 cups plus 8 seperate glasses of 8 ounces of water during the day. Does coffee count in the water intake? I never count it because I thought coffee dehydrates so it would not count but I am just wondering.

:drinker:

You are very right. Coffee does not count.

You can count it, but most people say to count it for less, say half of what you would count water as.
Its a mild diuretic, but it still is mainly water.
