Why does coffee make you have to pee so much?

It's the only major drawback. Well..that and the jitters. :hi:

1. Caffeine is diuretic.

That's why.

4. yep, it is a vascular constrictor

which is why it might help when one gets a migrain but doesn't help your heart much at all

Yup--diet Coke does the same to me! I could drink water all day and

hold it in, but once I start on soda, I'm up every 10 minutes!

5. Don't know about coffee but --

I know why you have to pee more often when you drink beer than when you drink tomato juice.

Beer doesn't have to stop and change color.
