Answer 1

Beer: we need 20 water units to expel 1 of alcohol. Beer will just make you pee a lot without hydrating you.

Coffee: forces your body to be awake, you don’t rest and get too tired and then you need more coffee to be active, in a loop. While this happens, your liver is working to remove the caffeine from your blood.
