Context: I very rarely drink plain water; for some reason I find myself rarely feeling dehydrated at all. My general daily routine is to drink one can of monster ultra energy when i start my work day, and another when i get home from work. They contain no sugar, no calories and only 120mg caffeine, meaning the two cans still keeps me well under my daily caffeine intake limit. However, a lot of days I also don’t drink much else. People keep telling me this is bad for me, but I’m not sure how it’s any worse than people who pretty much only drink coffee?

Well, caffeine is a diuretic, which signals your kidneys to dump extra water into your urine. You’re replacing *some* of that lost water with the water in the Monster, however, you might be running a deficit. Your pee color is a good indicator: anything darker than lemonade means you’re dehydrated and should drink more water.
