Here is the question..

Both act as diuretics and cause the body to dehydrate. That's why, when there are heat advisories, people are advised to avoid alcohol and high-caffeine drinks (coffee, sodas, etc.). Apparently, tea doesn't have nearly the amount of caffeine in it that coffee and colas do.

Be sure to read several articles in those search results.
