NO. Cows milk will not dehydrate you, although the fat content in the milk will make the fluid slower to absorb. so if you need a quick rehydrating, drink water or.... in a recent study (British Journal of Nutrition Vol 98) Skim milk was shown to be easier to absorb due to several nutrients that increased absorbtion rate.

Yes.

If you think about it a young animal (human) can live of mother's milk as the sole form of food and water intake until they become weaned. Milk is perfectly balanced to give us all we need.

The fact that milk is 'isotonically' balanced also means it may be better than water in certain circumstances.
