I honestly think the coffee, tea, soda dehydrating thing is a myth. I
believe we retain a lot more of the water in those drinks than is peed
out from the diuretic effects.
It would be an interesting experiment to drink an amount of one of
those, and measure urine output for (?) some time afterwards. You'd have
to know how long the diuretic effect lasts to make it an accurate
experiment though.
But I honestly can't tell any significant difference in urinary urging
or output whether I drink 16 oz water, 16 oz decaf, or 16 oz cola. With
me it is liquid in, liquid out, no matter what the source of the liquid.
My personal experience may not be valid to a normal person though,
because I am a salt waster, and cannot hold onto either water or salt.
