NO! Water does not contain additives and is passed through the body directly into the cells and blood. Other drinks must be filtered and can create problems. Coffee contains a stimulate caffeine and will raise blood pressure and cause other issues to the body. It is not necessary bad, but it is NOT a substitute for water!
I had to learn the hard way!

No. Coffee is pretty much the opposite of water. It is a diuretic. It dehydrates your body and makes you have the need to drink water. There is no true substitute for water.

Definitely not. Not even juice is a complete substitute for water. What is best for the health is to drink about 2- 3 liters of fresh water per day.

No, coffee does not act as a water substitute. All coffee - even decaf - has some caffeine, which acts as a diuretic. Diuretics deplete your body of hydration, so you should actually drink more water if you are drinking coffee.

NOT AT ALL!
Tell Dad that for every cup of coffee he drinks, he needs to add a cup of water to his daily intake, since coffee dehydrates the body.

No, because coffee is a diuretic so instead of hydrating the body, it dehydrates it...So, have your coffee and 6 -8 glasses of water per day!
