In response to "I'll put it this way - there's nothing *wrong* with drinking 8 glasses of water a day" by Reagen

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.

The thing that got me about it is that it seems like it's just the thing they're "supposed" to say. I mean, I was drinking about 2L a day, and still wound up in the hospital hooked up to IV fluids for an entire day. So *obviously* I still wasn't drinking enough. If I'm already drinking 8 glasses a day, plus some, and it's not enough, don't tell me to drink 8 glasses a day. That's just dumb.

- 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
