Hail Hydrate!

We were in health class at school while they were explaining how you need so many cups of water every day.

Teacher: “Soda doesn’t count, though. It’s a diuretic, which means it makes you urinate more often. That means a can of soda will remove more water than it adds.

Friend: “Oh, no. I think I may be in the negatives!”

Thankfully for my soda-loving friend, while soda is a diuretic, it still tends to add more liquid than it removes. It’s not a good source of hydration, but it is better than nothing.
