One claim I love people making is that #alcohol and #caffeine are diuretics and that’s why one needs to go more frequent to urinate when getting one’s daily buzz.

Don’t they realize that they are just guzzling down more liquid and looking for a cop-out. If their claim was true (in the way they imagine it to be), then removing the substance would reduce the frequency substantially.

What do they realize, if one guzzles down multiple pints of liquid (unless heavily dehydrated with electrolytes) quickly, then quite quickly one will get the urge to urinate.

Don’t get me wrong, alcohol and caffeine are diuretics, though barely ever does one take them in their raw form. Usually they are infused in liquid, where many scientists agree upon that the amount liquid is sufficient enough to counteract the diuretic effects.
