Creatine with very little water intake

Jordan,

I was thinking about the role of creatine as it is supposed to draw water into your muscles correct? What if you don’t drink hardly anything? Right now my only fluid consumption is a large black coffee in the morning (about 20oz cup) then whatever amount of water probably around 8-10oz each that I mix with my Peri-RX (before and after workout) and just creatine mono once a day on off days. Should I be drinking more throughout the day if I am taking creatine? I’m just rarely if ever thirsty.

Nearly every food or beverage you consume has liquid in it, so I’d expect your daily fluid intake to be higher. That said, I am not worried about your liquid intake here either.
