          Caffeine is a diuretic (makes you piss more). So some drinks might actually dehydrate you, yeah? : Nixx2004

          There's another study I saw that couldn't replicate this at 22c, but still managed to replicate an increase at 3c. They only had 8 subjects though, and the timing after meal consumption was different.

          Note that in the original study, the subjects did not eat for 12.5 hours before drinking water. In this study, they don't seem to control for food at all.
