While it may seem that any liquid can contribute to hydration, including coffee, tea, and juice, that isn’t true. Drinking these in moderation is fine, but consider the cons if you’re trying to stay hydrated. As a whole, they mainly increase your blood volume and pressure but don’t hydrate you. Water is your best bet. This rule also applies to sports drinks that contain too much sugar and other unhealthy ingredients. Keep an eye on your sports and energy drink consumption, especially if you have health concerns like diabetes.
