    I just saw my nutritionist yesterday and she said, as was previously posted, to divide your body weight in half and drink that number of ounces. She also said that for every alcoholic drink and every caffeinated drink you have, you should add 2 glasses of water as alcohol and caffeine are dehydrating. You should also drink more depending on climate and how much exercise you do. I hope that's helpful.

    Your nutritionist is an idiot and I suggest you get a new one.

    The amount of caffeine in your drink will be COMPLETELY negated by the liquid it is in. For example, coffee and soda will still hydrate you. Yes caffience is a diuretic, but not enough to negate the liquid it is in.

    Just drink until your pee is clear. That is all.

    I drink to keep my urine very pale yellow, close to clear as I can.
