Caffeine effect: The caffeine in coffee is a pretty potent diuretic. It can dehydrate you easily. So you feel thirsty from that. Caffeine also stimulates thirst directly in the brain. Hot feet reflects a blush. Caffeine can do this also. If you are adding sugar to your coffee, then this can cause thirst as well, particularly if your blood sugar spikes. If you have early diabetes, hot feet could reflect neuropathy

Accepted Answer

: Regular use of alcohol can lead to liver damage. Foot swelling, redness, itchiness can all be symptoms of this. Talk to your Dr about getting a test to measure the health of your liver and try to minimize your alcohol consumption to less than 3 drinks per week.

Question 5

what is causing my burning feet and what should i do about it? i'm young, don't drink often and have never smoked but at night my feet feel burning hot and keep me awake. what could be the cause of this and what should i do about it?

Accepted Answer

Well : Well this can mean a few different things. You may be dealing with flat feet and/or plantar fasciitis. Both of these problems can lead to the symptoms you described, especially if you are a runner or walk very long distances without supportive shoes. Plantar fasciitis is a condition in which the plantar fascia (thick band of tissue on the bottom of your foot) is inflammed. Stretching and wearing the right shoes can help.
Also vitamin deficiencies can cause this problem ( commonly b vitamins). Even diabetes can cause a neuropathy (nerve damage) which can lead to burning in the feet and legs.
As you see there are many possibilites. I recommend a visit to your primary care provider for a more detailed history and examination. 
In the mean time wear shoes with good arch support, take a multi-vitamin, also an anti-inflammatory can be used in the mean time like advil or ibuprofen.
Good luck.

Alcohol flush: When most people consume alcohol, it is processed by two liver enzymes. The first, alcohol dehydrogenase, converts the alcohol to acetaldehyde. The second, aldehyde dehydrogenase, converts the acetaldehyde into acetic acid, which can then be broken down into carbon dioxide and water, which can be harmlessly expressed from the body.  Impairment of aldehyde dehydrogenase can cause your symptoms.
