    Yeah. Personally coffee makes me thirsty - doesn't quench my thirst - so I guess I assume that the whole water replacement thing is correct.

    Any idea where I can find the new research to skim over [I'm up for a VERY boring day at work today, and this is interesting me...]
    I provided a link to it in my earlier post; here's a place to start: http://viewzone2.com/waterx.html
    And here's a link summarizing some work by Dartmouth researchers. I believe a link to the actual journal article is at the bottom of the page:

    I have also frequently gone to the snopes link kaplods provided.
  • I count my green and herbal teas as water intake. But I get plenty of water as well. Anything less than a gallon a day and I start to notice dry skin, dry eyes, headaches and I feel dehydrated. 'Course, I also live in a fairly dry climate.
