Water is very important...
I keep a bottle with me at all times at work now. I use more there (environmental stress) than at home.
I drink on average 2 large water bottles, and one diet soda (usually Vernors or
Lipton's Green tea) at work.
I don't use coffee anymore, so my caffeine is way down now.
While it is important to drink, those using certain drugs need to watch out for hyponatremia. Many drugs can cause this and I found a list of them at

I have bolded the ones most commonly used by PN patients. I think this list was made before Lyrica came out, so I'd add that one in just for precautions' sake.
Read the article and familiarize yourself with the symptoms. It may come in handy one day...esp those in the hot zones this week in US.
