Jokes on you I drank some coke after a nap
Does beer count?
Coffee is always the answer. Full stop. Do you need hydration? Coffee. Do you need a friend or something to hold? That’s right, Coffee. Do you have to stop to pee every 30 minutes on a road trip? You guessed it, still Coffee!
Coffee does count, btw. The amount of water used to make coffee counteracts the diuretic effect. This is pretty common knowledge.
I know. It’s just that I tend to drink multiple espressos a day (be it at home because it’s delicious or at work because of social functions) but completely forget to actually hydrate myself despite being thirsty AF.
That ain’t healthy, chief. But I won’t judge. I sometimes drink Monster Energy like it’s water.
Jokes on you, I have a cold and have been drowning myself in water, tea and orange juice
My cup of tea was unsatisfying, but water is also unsatisfying, task initiation broken
Immediately my thought was “oh, is it tea time?”
I’ll drink water in the middle of the night by the light of my phone screen like the forces that be intended.
@Wfh *in a small voice*
'nk you.
Of course coffee counts. It’s still water and has no salt. It will not be close to enough, but still.
Add sugar!
Coffee counts but espresso doesn’t
You do need salt, or that water just instantly becomes piss.
Instantly you say?
I believe they’re using ‘Instantly’ like this.
Wow xD
Idk, just, no? Bottled water or water from the tap or whatever all has no salt.
We do need a certain amount of salt, but it doesn’t need to come from the water, drinks do not need to be isotonic to hydrate you.
That’s really not the case. Most tap water and bottled water have some salt and the amount varies widely by brand/location.
“no salt” as in neglible. Of course it isn’t distilled water. And that’s also what’s in the coffee.
Guess which water is used for the coffee buddy xD
Caffeine in the coffee is a diuretic though. It’ll make you lose more water through urination than if you drank the equivalent volume in just water.
Although caffeine is a diuretic, coffee is net hydrating.
Sure, but drinking any amount of caffeine will result in more water being excreted than if you have no caffeine, right?
Nope, only true in extreme cases. I was curious about that years ago, and while it might make you need to urinate more frequently, it doesn’t actually make you urinate more volume unless you consume way more caffeine than your body is used to. Now, alcohol on the other hand, anything over like 3-5% ABV does have a net dehydrating effect.
Thanks, I wasn’t aware of that!
This doesn’t actually seem to be completely true. The diuretic effect isn’t enough to really impact the benefits if drinking a 99% water solution.
Ah thank you, I didn’t know that!
Make me.
drowns you in tub
uwu
Coors light it is, thanks meme.
But, but…. I’m on the toilet right now.
You are literally sitting on a water chair and not hydrating?
you cant make me
I am in a place that requires bottled water. And bottled water costs money. But a fast food chain has a special: 1.50USD, and you get a free coffee once every 2 hours for 30 days.
Why do they require you to have bottled water
Tap water isn’t safe in asia outside of Japan, and in much of Japan it tastes like chlorine once you notice it.
I guess the fast food place is really close to where you work? How do they afford to offer this? Like they get bulk sanitized water, or have their own filtering system? Or is it safe to just boil and use?

It’s a 15 minute walk or a 5 minute ebike ride, but the rideshare moped costs an extra 15 cents each way. But they’re all over China so it’s available whatever city I picked that month.
They have a filtering system, I can boil water, but then I don’t get free coffee.
That’s why I only drink water sanitized with 40% ethanol. Zero chlorine. Bacteriologically super safe. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Wow that’s actually genius!
Since there is a little less water than in pure water, we could call it “little water”. And brand it with a foreign sounding name because that’s cool. Maybe a Slavic language?
We’re onto something here.
I also only drink satanized water
Does coffee count?
The bottom text on the picture says that coffee doesn’t count. Sorry!
Sorry wasn’t hydrated enough to even see there was text down there.
No worries, hope you get hydrated soon!
