- Bajayjay, on 04/14/2008, -2/+52Every damn morning in my household.
- SergioValente, on 04/14/2008, -9/+57wouldn't give up caffeine even if i was told it would kill me.
- meshman, on 04/14/2008, -8/+51Short answer: "Moderate caffeine consumption won’t dehydrate you and can actually help you reach your overall daily fluid intake."
That's all the article had to say. One sentence. - markp93, on 04/14/2008, -4/+41It's got what plants crave. It's got electrolytes.
- cerealjynx, on 04/14/2008, -5/+35Caffeine is bad for you=Fact
Caffeine is the best thing ever=Also fact. - DeskFlyer, on 04/14/2008, -2/+28Wars have been started over the lack of caffeine.
- CalmBlueOcean, on 04/14/2008, -3/+29I think there's an inherent human desire to seek out or play up the 'vice' and consequence of caffeine. I love that studies looking for faults more often find benefits.
- bluesnowmonkey, on 04/14/2008, -0/+25On the plus side, you're probably not as fat now.
- Rotzooi, on 04/14/2008, -1/+23That's my excuse when downing shots of JB before 9am.
- darkhero, on 04/14/2008, -3/+23I stopped drinking soda because my doctor told me it dehydrates your body. That lying bitch. I haven't tasted Mountain Dew for a year.
- Necoras, on 04/14/2008, -0/+19Pastafarians on the other hand must consume ungodly (unnoodly?) amounts of the stuff.
- obijohn, on 04/14/2008, -1/+18This applies to most of the "-ine" words. Nicotine. Codeine. Heroine. Guillotine.
- MrFancy, on 04/14/2008, -4/+20it is mostly water.
- TRScheel, on 04/14/2008, -0/+14I think you've had a little too much coffee
- web2pointYo, on 04/14/2008, -0/+12how did you get through the x-games without a Mountain Dew?
- jdames1980, on 04/14/2008, -2/+14If it really dehydrated you a lot of people would be dead!!
- alexgeorge52, on 04/14/2008, -2/+13Good or Bad, coffee is one thing im willing to risk.
- rockrapdude, on 04/14/2008, -2/+13Actually it protects your brain. Another win for coffee!
- hayzeus, on 04/14/2008, -1/+12It's pretty common for jai-alai players to get by with nothing but hot coffee for hours on end during a match. The same is true for unicycle hockey and many other obscure sports that you can't easily get enough information on to determine whether I'm just totally lying or not.
- StarlessKnight, on 04/14/2008, -0/+10One of these things is not like the other. One of these things just doesn't belong...
- FarmPunk, on 04/14/2008, -3/+11???
- Necoras, on 04/14/2008, -1/+9Soda's a bit different from coffee. Soda has huge amounts of sugar and sometimes a bit of salt (listed as electrolytes). The carbonation hurts too. These will dry you out just like saltwater. That being said, decarbonated (flat) coke is one of the best things in the middle of a marathon. The sugar boost helps push you that final few miles.

- zaii7, on 04/14/2008, -0/+7saline. pristine. justine.
- irgeorge, on 04/14/2008, -1/+7I don't think you know what it feels like to take heroin.
- Androne, on 04/14/2008, -1/+7the way I think of it if caffeine takes 2-3 years off my life I'll probably be awake for about 5 years so in reality caffeine increases your life span?
- timmyrich, on 04/14/2008, -0/+6I was wondering if anyone else had seen that. Its hilarious
- pinkcherry, on 04/14/2008, -2/+8There is actually no caffeine in Chocolate. It contains a similar substance called Theobromine ;)
- wrathbone, on 04/14/2008, -0/+6Unless you're referring to the lifesucking bitches in capes.
Those are terrible for you. - br0wnstar, on 04/14/2008, -3/+9I refuse to change my opinions on any issue if a 'report' is on a site known as 'divine caroline'
- satanatnmtedu, on 04/14/2008, -0/+6Right. MODERATE. But, what is moderate? I would say 5+ cups a day is not moderate. So, a certain class of people would be dehydrated. And, if all you drink is coffee, then you are not better off.
- edwartica, on 04/14/2008, -0/+5That's actually not a whole lot of caffeine there.
- leerayIG88, on 04/14/2008, -8/+13Who needs caffeine? Cocaine gets the minds rolling.
- edwartica, on 04/14/2008, -0/+5saltine
- vornan19, on 04/14/2008, -0/+4Phfft, your brew!
- diggdat, on 04/14/2008, -1/+5No question it makes you have to go... but when you go, does to remove more from you, than the fluid you added, when you drank it.
They have been saying similar things about about tea lately. That tea, while caffeinated, also does not dehydrate.

Sometimes I wonder if, in the future, people will find out that caffeine is a dangerous drug, and we'll all be viewed as blithering idiots for drinking it.
- benonymous, on 04/14/2008, -2/+6I personally asked my doctor and he said that it's fine and doesn't dehydrate you. If it did everybody that drinks it would feel hung over every day.
- tomgsmyth, on 04/14/2008, -1/+5okay chris crocker i think its time for you to leave the internet alone....oh yeah... i got it
- dienaked, on 04/14/2008, -1/+5People didn't know this? I thought this was settled a long time ago.
- countingthedays, on 04/14/2008, -0/+4Our precious bodily fluids! Damn Commies.
- moneyswears, on 04/15/2008, -0/+3Wow borez, you're pretty hardcore. You're among that elite tenth of the population who has done streesh, congratulations. Also, cocaine itself isn't actually physically addictive like the opiates for example. You fell to psychological addiction because you're weak, while most people who do it lead ordinary lives. We're your doctors, lawyers, teachers, policemen, and of course musicians.
- 1aaaa, on 04/14/2008, -1/+4Are Mormons Rastafarians in disguise?
- stonebear, on 04/14/2008, -0/+3What a coincidence; I just sat down at my desk with a cup of coffee (flavored with highly recommended Carnation Italian Sweet Cream) and a Hershey's whole bean candy bar. I must be in heaven!
- elliotys, on 04/14/2008, -1/+4Good call, they both act at the same receptor (adenosine) and both belong to a class of molecules called Methyl Xanthines. I have heard the theobromide is actually what makes chocolate poisonous to dogs, which makes me wonder if caffeine is also poisonous for dogs.
- sigg14, on 04/14/2008, -2/+5coffee a diuretic ? what the hell does scientology have to do with coffee ?
- mtekk, on 04/14/2008, -0/+3The carbonation 'eats' away at your bones. In all honesty, the vast amounts of sugar in drinks are much worse for you than the caffeine.
