Question: Why does drinking coffee increase the urgency and frequency of urination, more so than if a person were to consume a non-caffeinated beverage? Need Assignment Help? Group of answer choices Because coffee tastes so good, people tend to consume a greater volume of the beverage compared to other drinks. Coffee is usually consumed in the morning, before the kidneys have had time to fully adjust from a sleep to an awake mode of operation. Coffee is consumed hot which stimulates the kidneys to reabsorb less liquid, thereby increasing urine output. Caffeine blocks adenosine receptors, which are important for the regulation of kidney function. All of the above reasons explain coffee's ability to increase urination urgency and frequency.
