Good for you in looking.  It's not just the caffeine in the tea, it's a diuretic by itself.   Not to get overly technical but here is a definition.  It pays to know what substances fall into this category when you are trying to conserve your body liquids.  BTW, you can't counteract the effects by just not going to the bathroom either.  

 

Diuretic: Something that promotes the formation of urine by the kidney. All diuretics cause a person to 'lose water,' but they do so by diverse means, including inhibiting the kidney's ability to reabsorb sodium, thus enhancing the loss of sodium and consequently water in the urine (loop diuretic); enhancing the excretion of both sodium and chloride in the urine so that water is excreted with them (thiazide diuretic); or blocking the exchange of sodium for potassium, resulting in excretion of sodium and potassium but relatively little loss of potassium (potassium-sparing diuretic). Some diuretics work by yet other mechanisms, and some have other effects and uses, such as in treating hypertension. Also known as water pill. Substances in food and drinks, such as coffee, tea, and alcoholic beverages, may act as diuretics.

I did get some propel. I don't doubt that it can help but according to the label it does not have potassium in it. May have to get some bananas.

A container of Vita Coco, coconut water has more potassium than a banana. Kills two birds with one stone, hydration and potassium.

The only thing soft drinks do for me is dry me out.

Just to clarify, there's hot and then there's HOT.  A normal summer day I might not drink anything (I'm bad about that) but these 90+ degree days with high humidity you can bet I'm planning ahead and getting my fluids right.  

Water and Gatorade/ Powerade for me. I have been drinking Body Armor a little bit lately and am really starting to dig it. The flavors are hit and miss, bit so are the Gatorade/Powerade flavors as well.

.......if you wait until you are thirsty, it is to late!

Pedialyte is best if you are only drinking.

According to the Boston Celtics nutritionist,

Water bottle, 2 spoons of sugar and pinch of salt,.......then eat a banana.
