Don't worry, DRINK: as much as you can tolerate. Drink most clear liquids such as water, Ginger-ale, lemonade, and/or diluted fruit juice such as apple, pear, or white grape juice. Ginger has been used for centuries for treatment of stomach ailments; Ginger-ale or ginger tea containing real ginger. Chamomile and peppermint tea can also be soothing. Get yourself hydrated or you may need to have IV fluids.

Dr. Latham is absolutely correct. avoid caffeine in liquids, and it's dehydrating..
