Of course coffee counts. It's still water and has no salt. It will not be close to enough, but still.

    You do need salt, or that water just instantly becomes piss.

    Wow xD

    Idk, just, no? Bottled water or water from the tap or whatever all has no salt.

    We do need a certain amount of salt, but it doesn't need to come from the water, drinks do not need to be isotonic to hydrate you.

    That's really not the case. Most tap water and bottled water have some salt and the amount varies widely by brand/location.

    Caffeine in the coffee is a diuretic though. It'll make you lose more water through urination than if you drank the equivalent volume in just water.

    Although caffeine is a diuretic, coffee is net hydrating.

    Sure, but drinking any amount of caffeine will result in more water being excreted than if you have no caffeine, right?

    And no water at all is worse than water from coffee. Do you know what a net positive is?

    Nope, only true in extreme cases. I was curious about that years ago, and while it might make you need to urinate more frequently, it doesn't actually make you urinate more volume unless you consume way more caffeine than your body is used to. Now, alcohol on the other hand, anything over like 3-5% ABV does have a net dehydrating effect.

    Not enough to offset the amount of water you take, look it up if you want. It does make you empty your bladder and that might be more water than what you just drank, but then your bladder takes a while to fill again. It doesn't really make you generate enough urine to offset what you drank at all.
