The contention being that your body will absorb and use more water effectively without caffeine present.
But then, I heard that from the Internet, so I really don't know if it's true.
But also, I have to believe that the body can extract some H20 from just about any food or liquid that contain it.
If caffeine slows/blocks absorption of water, I'd assume that caffeine drinkers have diarrhea problems as they have excessive amounts of water going straight through their GI system.
