English term or phrase: less dehydrating
Dear Colleagues,

Greetings ....

What would be the best translation of the words LESS DEHYDRATING into Arabic in this context.

Please provide me with explanations or comments.

Thank you in advance!

People who imbibe, particularly wine and hard liquors, should also be aware that those drinks with a high alcohol content can be dehydrating. Beer, however, is less dehydrating because it is predominantly water.

Explanation:
If 'dehydration' can be translated into "تجفيف", it would follow that 'less dehydrating' can be translated this way.
