They drank black tea [all they said about it] almost constantly when indoors the way it sounded. My question is, wouldn't this dehydrate you, isn't black tea a diuretic? Obviously it had no ill effects on these people, but I just had to wonder if just water would be better in such large amounts. Thanks in advance for any reply.

From personal experience though, I can attest that coffee, with no other liquids, can cause problems. Once on a winter campout where the high temperature for the weekend was -5 degrees F., all I drank from Friday evening until Sunday morning was coffee; as we had it going all the time and anything else was frozen solid. By early Sunday morning, I was showing signs of dehydration; severe headaches and vomitting. As I got some water melted and sipped it, things improved. Perhaps that is not a problem with everyone, but I am convinced it caused my problem; but then we have our coffee VERY strong.

I think tea is easier to brew that coffee is... in a tin can..I think they add sugar if they have it. Books Ive read most any reason at all or none at all is reason to start a fire and get the tea billy going..... I am sure in cold conditions hot tea.... helps to warm up your innards... & your hands and provides a feeling of" home & well being ". I know it does for me..and I drink coffee as well. Were I living outside all the time.... I would brew a cup often and surley would not worry about kidney stones. I probably would not brew coffee as much as tea ..cause the tea would just be easier..... IMHOP...... " You can't stop the waves .... but, you can learn to surf."

She also said that it is the caffiene that has that effect, that non caffiene tea is not a dieuretic . Hope I spelled that right

They said the body can only filture 1/4 cup of water per 15 minutes to obtain the rich minerals...also heard of a lady recently who drank a large amount of water in a short time period and died, toxic...over loads the system.
