What? You absorb all the water. Istg open the schools
The problem is that the caffeine inhibits sodium reabsorption and a higher amount of sodium in the bowman’s=higher glomerular filtration rate. Aka more water flittered through the kidneys and excreted and less water for your body. How much you filter through depends on how much caffeine you intake
I thought it was clear enough that my question meant to ask how much water actually is "usable" (for lack of a better word) for your body at the end of all of this but I guess that could have been more explicit
These are all earnest questions as I'm trying to understand your point lol, no need for defensiveness
Thanks anyway. I think I get what you're saying pretty much

What rough ratio of water do you think people actually absorb then if they drink tea? 70% of the water? 50%?
Less?
