SO, I am a member of MyFitnessPal. there have been several threads today about whether coffee counts as "water". - loosi Jan 25, 20:31 24

- I'd like to smack the "8 glasses of water" doctor. -- nm - Reagen Jan 25, 20:32 22
  - I was just given the "8 glasses of water" speech by nurses at the hospital. - kelly Jan 25, 21:12 18
    - I'll put it this way - there's nothing *wrong* with drinking 8 glasses of water a day - Reagen Jan 25, 21:16 13
      - Well, I'm a huge soda drinker. I'm guessing Diet Coke is mostly water, too. If not, the SodaStream we make is definitely water. - kelly Jan 25, 21:20 11
        
        yes, of course it is. look at it! it's wet! - loosi Jan 25, 21:35 2
        
        Right, but caffeine, diuretic, blah blah blah. -- nm - kelly Jan 25, 21:38 1
        
        the diuretic effect is exaggerated. it has been tested and is almost undetectable. -- nm - loosi Jan 25, 21:44
        
        Heh. This seems like the basis for a great bar bet. - Reagen Jan 25, 21:25 7
        
        that's cheating, because sugar is dense, and tomatoes have air in them. -- nm - loosi Jan 25, 21:36 1
        
        in other words, a perfect bar bet question. -- nm - Reagen Jan 25, 21:38
        
        That's still a lot of water for the Coke, though. -- nm - kelly Jan 25, 21:26 4
        
        oh sure. It's just who would guess the solid and not the liquid? - Reagen Jan 25, 21:28 3
        
        yes, diuretic effect of caffeine is crazy overblown. Some folks (including personal trainers) insist that for every cup of coffee, - loosi Jan 25, 21:37
        
        Gotcha. - kelly Jan 25, 21:29 1
        
        the net effect of coffee is hydration, by a lot. -- nm - loosi Jan 25, 21:44
      - particular health issues always come first. -- nm - loosi Jan 25, 21:20
    - and of course ... as long as you are not drinking vodka, liquids are made of water! hello! -- nm - loosi Jan 25, 21:14
    - ARGH!!! wtf? its based on NOTHING. you're supposed to pee 5-6 times a day. If you're peeing 15 times - loosi Jan 25, 21:13 2
      - eh, my situation might be different. - kelly Jan 25, 21:16 1

  - I must be the only person who was just bored by the pilot. -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 25, 20:46 2
    - it's a slow show no doubt. But when he unleashes his plans or blast someone it's terrific. -- nm - Remlik Jan 25, 22:38 1
      - That pilot made the slowest episodes of Walking Dead seem fast-paced and action-packed. - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 25, 22:46
