Hydrate Extra When You Drink Caffeine

When you drink coffee, tea, or other caffeinated beverages, deliberately add extra non-caffeinated fluids alongside them rather than counting the caffeinated drink itself as hydration. A practical rule is to drink about 1.5 to 2 times as much water or other non-caffeinated fluid as the caffeinated beverage, which helps offset caffeine’s mild diuretic effect and reduces the chance of ending up underhydrated.
