Re: Salt water
I don't, it just seems like Kurosh is backed into a corner...doesn't seem like a big deal to get him to say he's wrong. But you're right, not my argument, i'll show myself out.

You are wrong. I don't know how I can prove this to you, but YOU ARE WRONG. I would rather drink nothing than soda anyday.

Re: Salt water
All,
I would estimate that my liquid intake ratio for the past 20+ years is roughly something like this: 100:5:1:1 - soda:alchohol:water  therI've definitely gone for at least a month straight drinking nothing but soda. I've probably gone for at least a month straight drinking nothing but regular pepsi. Obviously I'm eating too, so this doesn't help with the "your food has water in it" argument, but if soda was dehydrating rather than just not-as-hydrating-as-water, I'd be dead long ago. As it is, I'm just a fatty and I've only rarely suffered from very minor dehydration issues, and then only after a long night of hard drinking (of alchohol obviously).

Re: Salt water
kurosh,
Why are you ignoring—or, at least, why does it seem like you are—the study that Diablo posted and the Snopes article (which I would consider the most reputable source posted thus far, which DIRECTLY REFUTES every claim you linked to)?

Re: Salt water
I'm not as confident as I was before about this. Kurosh is getting in my head.
Say that if you had a cup of water in the middle of the desert, it would add 3 days to your life. Keep drinking a cup of water every 3 days, and hypothetically you would survive in the desert indefinitely (given food and all else). If you only had caffeinated soda, the caffeine would offset some of the hydrating powers of the water content, but I would think there would be more than enough water in the soda to overcome the caffeine. Unless of course it's jolt. Am I wrong in assuming this? Maybe a cup of soda would only give you 1 day in the desert, as opposed to 3. But I don't imagine it gives you negative days. Counterpoint: After I drink a lot of beer (and only beer), the next morning I have my hangover and I feel very dehydrated. How come the water content in the beer didn't overcome the alcohol's effect of dehydration? Is alcohol in beer (which is mostly water) much more powerful than caffeine? These are honest questions. No sarcasm here, for once. I'm still going with drinking the soda.
