Drink more water: Caffeine can act as a diuretic. Drink more fluids daily especially if you are going to pee so often will help prevent dehydration. Institute of Medicine determined that an adequate intake (AI) of fluids for men is roughly 3L/day (about 13 cups) and for women is 2.2L/d (about 9 cups). You can also follow the 8x8 rule of 8 x 8oz cups/day as a minimum intake/day.
