I was wondering if juice, coffee and tea (herbal or otherwise) count in the water consumption?

The evidence for alcohol being a dehydrating liquid is, according to what I have learned, a single study from the late 40s, having a single test subject; it can hardly be called a study. Experiments (current) demonstrate that it is not true, full stop. This idea seems to be about as stuck in the public mind and as little truthful as the idea of zero-calory food. I could point you in the direction of studies of so prompted, but not right now (writing on my mobile).

@CannedMan: it looks like @tugbuster is asking about coffee (regarding a claim made by @babcot, not you), not alcohol.

I believe my answer was in reply to this reply. Even though the thread originally was with regards to coffee, it quickly developed into a thread discussing the misconception that various non-water liquids can be dehydrating. As an early poster referenced, it has been scientifically debunked a long time ago.

When answering posts in a crowded topic (such as this one, which was started 4.5 years ago and spans over 3 pages), it’s a good idea to quote at least part of the post you’re replying to, in order to avoid confusion.

My apologies. I do, though, find this forum far more messy to navigate than others I frequent.

That has been debunked as far as coffee and tea, as well as other liquids, are concerned. While alcohol is not a source of hydration, Other fluids that are not exactly "healthy", do have hydration bennifits despite their diuretic status.

Coffee and tea do have hydrating effects. They may not be healthy sources, but do add to hydration. The main ingredient in these drinks is in fact "water". Fruits and vegetables, also contribute. Watermelon is about 90% water. Citrus and other melons such as hunnydoos and cantaloupe are also good sources. You can dilute sugary beverages with water to lesson their adverse effects. While water is always you best source, other liquids do count.

Accouding to Web MD coffee and tea counts as water. Alcohol isva diuretic and should not be counted. You should add an equal amount of water for every ounce of alcohol.

Not what I read on a
WEB Md. However my son who is a md thinks Web md doesn't require a medical school or test.lol

And I heard that you need to drink the same amount of water if you have a coffee/tea/caffeinated drink and double up if you have alcohol.

Some drinks are diuretic so they have the opposite to desired effect of hidration.

I always was taught that plain water is the absolute hydration. However, I HAVE to have my morning coffee with a splash of almond milk.
