It has everything to do with the vaxx. I have clots from the vaxx going on 18 months. My Dr. told me it was very important to stay hydrated.
Had a glass of water with my NAC this morning and the coffee just finished brewing
...stay hydrated....

When I queried several MDs on the ‘coffee is a net diuretic” trope, they all pointed out that coffee is fluid and there isn’t THAT much diuresis compared to the fluid volume per cup of coffee. You can monitor by urine color or the skin pinch time to snap back test.
The 2 people I know who have constant hydration issues do not drink coffee or tea. One is told to drink re-hydration formulas due to colon shortness and the other is in her 90s and simply doesn’t experience thirst.
Dehydration will knock someone on their butt or facilitate UTIs faster than *thicken* the blood.
I go through 2+ pots of dark coffee/day. No issues, but I do add herbal teas either hot or iced, depending on the weather.
Also, fresh produce has a high water content.
