Tea and coffee

I always count mine, thnks for posting this cos I've always wondered myself but never thought to ask.

Your choice of drinks are great. You mainly want to be concerned with what is in your drinks and whether or not your pee is clear to a faint yellow. If your pee is a bright yellow, you are dehydrated. Sorry for the visual.

I always add tea as water intake, but I don't add coffee!

Dehydrating caffeine myth. Similarly, recent experiments have “cast serious doubt on the often asserted diuretic role of caffeinated drinks,” . Caffeine had no significant effects on any of the variables that measure dehydration in one such study conducted at the Center for Human Nutrition in Omaha, for example, and the investigators concluded that “advising people to disregard caffeinated beverages as part of the daily fluid intake is not substantiated.” The diuretic effect of caffeine in drinks and moderate alcohol is trivial compared to the amount of water they contain.

Taken from "Yahoo answers" so must be true lol.

Not necessarily true many studies support caffienated beverages like coffee and tea to be a diuretic. This morning on Fox News says that a study in China shows that coffee is good for you in preventing type 2 diabetes, but it is recommended since coffee is a diuretic that water should be consumed between cups of coffee. While the study has only tested by extracting specific helpful components found in coffee and used to target specific cells, the group will be moving to test/observe humans to see if it truly has the same effect. The study noted that by adding too much sugar and cream you would counter affect the good stuff in coffee, but to me this is a "duh" type of statement.

Also note you can always find information on the web to support any ideology.
