Coffee, tea, and occasional alcoholic drinks are part of many people’s routines — especially in winter. The key isn’t avoiding them, but knowing how to adjust hydration gently.
Thinking about hydration and coffee together makes balance easier, not stricter.
A simple approach is this:
- Start with your baseline hydration formula
- Add extra water when drinking dehydrating beverages
There’s no need for exact measurements or strict ratios. Adding a glass of water alongside coffee or alcohol helps keep things balanced.
This adjustment isn’t about restriction. It’s about awareness. When you notice how your body responds, hydration becomes intuitive instead of stressful.
Simple formulas work best when they support real life — not when they try to control it.
Yum’s Note
Balance beats restriction every time.
