Hi
user
Hello! How can I help you today?
assistant
I'm trying to stay hydrated, but I drink a lot of coffee. Does caffeine affect hydration?
user
Yes, caffeine can have a mild diuretic effect, which means it may increase urine production and lead to dehydration if not balanced with enough water intake.
assistant
So, should I cut back on my coffee or just drink more water?
user
You don't have to cut back on coffee completely, but try to drink an extra glass of water for every cup of coffee you consume to stay hydrated.
assistant
That makes sense. Thanks for the advice!
user
You're welcome! Stay hydrated and take care.
