Does Drinking Sodas Make Dehydration Worst?

Answer Question

2 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Yes. Caffeine is what's called a "diuretic" and makes you urinate more, something you really don't want if you are trying to stay hydrated. As far as sweet drinks go, i'm not sure how that effects hydration exactly, but i've been told that it's a hindrance and should be avoided. There's just nothing better than good old fashioned water.

      NO it does not, its an urban myth, the fact is caffeine is only slightly more diuretic then water.
      If your dehydrated Soda isn't as good a choice as water but its better then nothing.
