Do people drink coffee / hot tea to quench their thirst?

Question

if not, how do they quench their thirst? do they drink water, soda, etc? Thanks!

Answer 1

Well it is interesting, that in the desert people actually drink tea and coffee, because both are warm, they build up a higher internal temperature, which lowers the ratio external-internal temperature and therefor quenches the thirst. For the rest of the world it is the other side around, besides coffee contains diuretics so it can not actually quench ones thirst

Answer 2

That depends on the person, but drinking tea, coffee or soda pop only make u thirster. Water quenches the thirst! Even perhaps energy drinks might quench the thirst also.

Answer 3

I work outside and mostly drink water to quench my thirst. On really hot days, hot black tea is perfect for quenching thirst.

If I've kept myself well hydrated, a cold beer at the end of the day can be very thirst quenching.

Answer 4

Neither quenches my thirst, I am addicted to Coca Cola. I drink coffee in the mornings just for the taste, not for thirst quenching. But I think it depends on the person, because my granmother drinks coffee every day, all day, so I can only assume that it does quench her thirst. Then again, she does always say her mouth is dry.

Answer 5

I drink hot coffee/tea to enjoy on cold days. I do enjoy iced coffee/tea to quench my thirst, but I ususally drink water to quench my thirst and try to stay away from the caffeine.

Answer 6

Yes, they can. Thirst is the basic need or instinct of humans or animals to drink. It arises from a lack of fluids and an increase in the concentration of certain osmolites such as salt. the effects of tea can decrease the salt in your blood. It can quench your thirst. Coffee has different effects so is other HOT drinks. but they made of water. If the water volume of the body falls below a certain threshold, or the osmolite concentration becomes too high, the brain signals thirst. so some amount of coffee takes care of your thirst too.

Answer 7

Drink water to quench your thirst.

Answer 8

I drink water to quench my thirst(or in the summer) Iced Tea(own brand). But coffee and hot tea are stimulants and I use coffee to keep awake. Tea is for pleasure alone. A cookie, a slice of lemon......mmmmmmm..... Almost like the Calgon commercial.
