How can coffee be considered daily intake of fluids when it is a diuretic? You need to drink an extra glass of water to compensate for the coffee.

Don't know if you've ever spent a long term in a hospital(weeks), but with certain patients this what they do.

 

If that want to keep track of your bodily fluids! They know exactly how much fluid is going into your body.

 

(IV Fluids/water/coffee etc). Then you PP in a container(several different types) then the contents are measured. Fluid IN Fluid OUT. Is beer a fluid, it too, at certain levels, becomes a diuretic. 

 

Having Congestive Heart Failure(CHF), when my list counts coffee as a fluid, and I am limited to 64oz per day? My twice damaged heart is working hard enough, I'll stick with what my Cardiologist. prescribes.

Nope. Six to eight glasses a day are fine. More than that (for me) wipes out too many electrolytes. My doctor told me years ago that over I drinking water is just not healthy
