Caffine (aka the reason people drink Coffee) is a diuretic. The means it essential increases the amount you sweat, urinate, and loss water from your system. That is why it seems to kill your hydration. It is acctually one of the best aerobic performance enhancers as long as you stay hydrated.

Edit: It also increase various nervous system elements which can increase thought process and such. So keep drinking your coffee just drink H2O as well.

I am unable to back this statement with links, but I remember reading that it wasn't true that coffee has a dehydrating effect on people. A dehydration effect only takes place on people who drink coffee for the first time.

If you drink coffee in moderation it probably wont affect dehydration.
