This is a drink-volume tracker, not a medical prescription. Needs vary with health, medication, pregnancy, activity, climate, and fluid restrictions. Follow advice from your healthcare professional.
Coffee counts as fluid
The NHS includes tea and coffee as part of daily fluid intake. This tracker therefore adds coffee volume instead of subtracting it.
Hydration questions
Does coffee count toward fluid intake?
Yes. NHS guidance says water, lower-fat milk, and sugar-free drinks including tea and coffee count toward daily fluid intake.
Does coffee dehydrate you?
Caffeine can have a mild diuretic effect, but the fluid in ordinary coffee still contributes to fluid intake for most people.
How much should I drink each day?
Needs vary. The NHS uses 6 to 8 cups or glasses as a general guide, with more sometimes needed during pregnancy, activity, heat, or illness. Medical fluid restrictions require individualized advice.
