    Nope, still peeing. I don't think I pee more, but don't measure or anything.

    No, and Dino is right, you do sort of get used to it. It's just what is supposed to happen.

    haha - sorry, no.
    Just consider how your system is being flushed out and cleaned.

    No, but I do drink quite a bit of water when I know I am going to be home, and if I am going to be out and about I don't drink as much until I am back home.

    Tea, as you know has caffeine, a diuretic.
    It will just make it go through your body.

    If you're adapted to regular caffeine intake, the diuretic effect is negligible.

    I don't know the science, but I know that FOR ME, the above statement is not true. Been drinking coffee over 40 years and I've never adapted enough to not have to pee because of it. A diuretic remains a diuretic for me, no matter how long I've been drinking it.

    the worst is staying hydrated while exercising. I'll pee twice, start my morning hour long walk, and 15 minutes in it hits me >: (

    Keep in mind that coffee is mostly water, and most people get their fix in the morning, so having to pee after you drink it doesn't necessarily mean it's the caffeine.

    Just think of all the extra steps you get walking to the bathroom and back ;) At least that's what I do (with my fitbit)

    I understand about the coffee and water etc. I was responding to the post that said if you drink caffeine long enough that you'll "adapt" and that the diuretic effect would be "negligible". I was saying that for me, after 40 years, the effect was still there and NOT negligible.

    Yep. Water is a diuretic.

    Diuretic = any substance that promotes the production of urine...which includes water.

    The impact of caffeine in a drink, over and above the water used to make the beverage, is negligible.

    So we're all just going along with the assumption that a person has to drink "a lot" of water?

    I wish this was the way! I'm always peeing. The other day I had to pee almost every hour. Not only was I drinking my usual amout of water, but I ate soooo many vegetables. Annoying, but yet feels good. haha
