    Caffeine causes dehydration and is an excellent example, it is known that if a person who rarely consumes caffeine suddenly gets a large amount of it, even like 2 energy drinks, they can suffer from dehydration. However, a person who REGULARLY consumes caffeine will be accustomed to the dehydrating effect and already be consuming enough liquids to counter the effect so will NOT become dehydrated from consuming caffeine.

    Study: Moderate Caffeine Intake Doesn't Lead to Dehydration | Runner's World
    "It's believed that, if you're used to caffeine, a compensatory mechanism results in your holding on to more water over the ensuing 24 hours, so the net dehydration isn't greater than if didn't have caffeine"

    Why would consuming alcohol on a regular basis be any different?

    No one is saying drinking a glass of wine will leave you vulnerable. Dehydration is not the only side effect of alcohol consumption.

    If Americans had done the responsible thing in Nov 2016 and voted for Sweet Meteor of Death none of this would be happening.

    I have a REALLY good CLOSE friend that is the director of safety at a medium-size carrier. Sometime's while in a heated discussion with me or if confronted by an idiot he will use that term "I see your Reductio ad Absurdum and will add my Restitutio ad integrum" (google it) In these forums I will simply say I am going to ground the conversation back to the topic. My friend has 2 masters and one is in languages! It's really funny you know that term!

    Oh well

    Wash your hands every time you leave the bathroom. Wash your legs in the shower. Eat healthy. I personally don't eat red meat and very seldom do I eat pork. I also don't eat meat for breakfast.
