Question on Coffee/liquid intake
Many people say not to count caffeinated liquids, usually saying they act as a diuretic. However, several studies in the last few years have shown that caffeine, unless consumed in very large amounts, has only a very mild diuretic effect if any. I count all the liquids I drink.
