I know it's right to drink 8 glasses of water a day, but sometimes that just doesn't happen. I've heard that as long as the drink didn't have caffeine then it's good for hydration.. does caffeine really dry you out?

Caffine is a diuretic, so it makes you pee. But having said that, I think that's only if you have a few coffees a day that it reverses the goodness of your 8 glasses of water. One a day won't hurt, but I still wouldn't count it as part of the 8 glasses.

Too much caffeine may not only dry you out, it can make you irritable and have trouble sleeping. Stick to one or two coffees or cokes a day. Or drink decaffeinated coffee or cokes. Basically, if you drink those things in moderation you will be fine. It's when you drink them all the time that you may become addicted and start having problems. My dad has to have caffeine or he can't function right. That's not good at all.
