    I drink lots of coffee every day in work (I'm a barista) and a lovely lady customer told me I look like I'm 21.

    I'm nearly 28, so coffee hasn't aged my skin yet :)


    It only dehydrates you if you don't drink lots of water too. Drink enough water and you're grand.

    Exactly! Some people have ridiculous health and nutrition notions!!!

    Well it can definitely dehydrate you because iirc caffeine is a diuretic, and dehydration ages the skin.

    But yeah, have some water and you'll be grand. I have probably 4 or 5 coffees a day on work days, but also minimum 2L of water and my skin is grand

    Thanks.

    And a twist of lemon.

    The worriers worrying about getting lines with what they eat are more likely to get lines from worry rather than the coffee, food etc. , a bit like those ' healthy ' intense looking wrinkled seven stone 50 year old joggers who look 75 and who worry if they miss their run or their energy gel .

    I remember someone saying that to me before about having to drink the same amount of water as the coffee to even balance out, is that true or just a 'nutritionist' thing? I drink at least 6 coffees a day and haven't drank water in at least 3 years. Does Pepsi Max balance out coffee?

    I drink a cup of hot water with my espresso, I mix them together to make it easier to get my water in!

    No idea if you're supposed to balance it out tbh, I've always been a big water drinker anyway.

    My dad switched from drinking coffee exclusively (I'm talking 10 a day) to 2.5L of water per day instead and lost 6lbs in a week :pac:

    Coffee does not make you look older, milk might, but coffee has anti-ageing properties, the solution; drink it black.

    My running coach told me the opposite. That you're drinking 250ml of water with your coffee (or tea as was the query I had) and that the dehydrating effects of coffee are vastly over exaggerated.

    Also, if you've a good diet, you'll get a huge chunk of your water from food and won't actually need to drink 2 extra litres.

    Or we could all just eat and drink what makes us happy because worrying about such trivial things as coffee giving us "lines" mad considering we could be killed in the morning like.

    A certain cafe in Innishannon on the Bandon road in County Cork. A boast that their mushroom soup was homemade, yep, with saucepan, hot water and a soup packet hence, lets just say they were found out.

    True facts it dehydrates the skin and can be the cause of fine lines. I don't touch it in case I get lines
    I just drink the stuff. Phew, glad I don't smear it on my face now.

    It only dehydrates you if you don't drink lots of water too. Drink enough water and you're grand.

    Maybe, she should have gone to Specsavers :D

    Coffee should be banned, and coffee drinkers are political dissenters.

    There is this 'coffee establishment' in Dublin city centre which has a name which is a pun on a certain women's sitcom. Their range of morning food fare is very basic. You'll know you'll only get away with it once, when you order something that is'nt available by the look on the "nice guy's " face behind the counter.

    Chicken fillet rolls are full of water, right? Isn't that what they blow up the chicken with?

    Yep. And bread has water in it. And you can't have a chicken fillet roll without lettuce because otherwise it'd be bad for you.

    Sound.

    I often threaten to take a life for every piece of lettuce I find. I don't often find lettuce.
