A member asked:
Can drinking a lot of cokes and not enough water cause dehydration?
13 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not enough water: Coke and similar beverages have caffeine. Caffeine has diuretic effect making you urinate more. You could dehydrate if you drink too much coke and not enough water on a very hot day.

Unlikely: While the caffeine in the coke will make you pee more, it will not necessarily dehydrate you.People consume water value in a number of items other than straight water.Apple sauce, peaches,pears, etc are about 90% water,while most fresh vegetables are 60%.You could go all your life and never drink straight water & still keep up with your hydration status.
