Don't confuse any other beverages with water. I don't include the water i use in my coffee or protein shake as part of my daily water intake. Alcohol will hinder your progress because it contains calories. Useless, non-nutritive calories. Moderate useage becomes problematic in many different aspects leading to possibly higher estrogen levels. Something guys should want to avoid.

lol
estrogen?! shit man.... fuck that.

anyways... nah i know about not confusing it with water this is why im asking this question. im being technical here... what is it then? if its not a dehydrater or a hydrater then what the hell is it?

I believe carbonation is also a diuretic. So, if you're drinking a soda, treat it like a dehydrator.

The FAA also suggests staying away from coffee, sodas and teas—otherwise called diuretic drinks. These beverages contain caffeine, alcohol and carbonation, which causes excess urine production or decreased voluntary fluid intake—a sure sign of dehydration.

From an interesting article on Pilot Dehydration (http://www.pilotfriend.com/flight_training/human%20factors/dehydration.htm). It showed up when I googled for carbonation and diuretic.

thats exactly what i needed...thnx!


so... can anyone else confirm this... carbonation is a diuretic?


im going to treat it like it is either way... makes no problems for me... im drinking my water... no issue... im just trying to learn shit here.

ive got questions... so im going to spit um out untill i get answers from someone. thanks for the help gang!

A taste bud satisfier :lol:

Carbonation is absolutely not a diuretic. And besides, caffeine is a mild one at that (when compared to pharmacutical diuretics).

Carbonation may prevent intake of more fluid, since your stomach may be filled with air, but it won't cause excessive urine production and secretion from the body.

Google is also a good way to find out answers too. Just be discerning of the source.
