So, is drinking coffee the same as drinking water? No, but that’s okay. They are best friends, not twins. Water is the steady, reliable base of your hydration pyramid, and coffee is the delicious, sparkly top. You need both, but you can’t swap them.
Next time someone asks if your iced coffee counts as water, smile and say, “Only if you also drink a glass of water with it—and maybe a wink.” Your body will thank you, and your coffee will taste even better. Cheers to staying hydrated, happy, and caffeinated—in that order.
