Guest guest Posted December 27, 2003 Report Share Posted December 27, 2003 My understanding of avoiding caffene is because it does dehydrate you and can take 5 cups of water to replenish from drinking 1 cup of coffee. It also works as a diuretic. I drink coffee myself each day. I like to wind down before bedtime with a cup of hot tea which could be caffenated or decaf, or even a cup of cocoa. I am drinking plenty of water during the day being aware of this also. My doc says it's ok for caffene but just don't over do it, in other words, don't drink it all day long. I hope this helps.
